The goals are:



1. To win the National Championship (still possible but not probable)

2. To go to a BCS game (same as #1)

3. To achieve the highest ranking possible

4. To win as many games as possible

5. To be bowl eligible and play the best bowl team possible

6. To be better than Utah



A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.



BYU over Utah



B. Cheer for the team playing Utah. If we need help from Utah in any way then it is not worth having.



Once again BYU over Utah



C. Cheer for BYU's opponents. This helps SOS.

Texas over Kansas State

Wisconsin over Purdue

Notre Dame over Michigan State

Utah State over USC

Boise State over Fresno State

Nevada over Hawaii

Middle Tennessee over Florida Atlantic

Georgia Tech over North Carolina

Houston over Rice

Virginia over VMI

Idaho St. over Washington



D. Cheer for teams playing teams ranked ahead of BYU. If both teams are ranked cheer for the lower ranked team (Of course rules A-C trump rule D).



Colorado State over #1 Alabama

NC State over #3 Clemson

Florida A&M over #4 Ohio State

Arizona State over #5 Stanford

Auburn over #6 LSU

Florida International over #7 Louisville

Bethune Cookman over #8 FSU

North Texas over #9 Georgia

SMU over #10Texas A&M

UConn over #15 Michigan

NMSU over #13 UCLA

Savannah State over #16 Miami

Maine over #17 Northwestern

Tennessee over #19 Florida

Louisiana Monroe over #20 Baylor

Texas State over #25Texas Tech



E. Cheer for our Opponents' opponents unless they are playing our opponents. This helps our SOS. The more connected a team is to our opponents the more you should cheer for them (unless it violates rules A-D). Air Force is the most connected team to our opponents as they play 4 games against them. The number by the team indicates how connected they are. If two connected teams play each other take the underdog.
