The goals are:



1. To win the National Championship (On to 2014!!!)

2. To go to a BCS game (possible, but a Lloyd Christmas chance)

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.



Avoid 7 peaks, Betos, Vegas, and any other situation that can lead to injury or HC violation.



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



Utes, let’s go get a burrito at Betos after we go to 7 peaks.



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

MTSU (4-4) over UAB

Houston (7-1) 35 South Florida 23

Virginia (2-6) over Clemson

Notre Dame (6-2) over Navy

Nevada (3-5) over Fresno St.

Texas (5-2) over Kansas

Utah St. (4-4) over Hawaii

Georgia Tech (5-3) over Pitt

Boise St. (5-3) over Colorado St.

Idaho St. doesn’t matter

Wisconsin (5-2) over Iowa



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).



#7 Miami over #3 Florida St.

Purdue over #4 Ohio State

Tennessee over #9 Missouri

Arkansas over #11 Auburn

Mississippi St. over #14 South Carolina

UTEP over #12 Texas A&M

UMass over #17 Northern Illinois

#15 Texas Tech over #18 Oklahoma St. (Tech has a slightly harder schedule down the stretch)

Colorado over #20 UCLA

#21 Michigan over #22 Michigan St. (Michigan has the harder schedule down the stretch)



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.



Air Force 4 over Army

North Carolina 3 over North Carolina St.

USC 3 over Oregon St.

New Mexico 2 over SDSU

Southern Miss 2 over Marshall

Boston College over VT* 2 (We are too close in the rankings with VT)

Temple 2 over Rutgers

UTSA over Tulsa

Syracuse over Wake Forest

Georgia over Florida

Florida Atlantic over Tulane

Florida International over East Carolina

Northwestern over Nebraska

Indiana over Minnesota

Penn St. over Illinois

Arizona over Cal

New Mexico State over Louisiana Lafayette

Iowa St. over Kansas St.

TCU over West Virginia



F. Cheer for the FCS team. Because it is fun (unless it violates rules A-E)

Rhode Island over Old Dominion

Alabama St. over Kentucky



G. Cheer for the little guy

None.



H. Games that do not matter.

Western Kentucky vs. Georgia St.

Texas St. vs. Idaho

Akron vs. Kent St.

Eastern Michigan vs. Toledo

Arkansas St. vs. South Alabama



Games Already Played:

Arizona State 55 Washington St. 21 (Boooo we wanted Washington St. to win for the ranking)

North Texas 28 Rice 16 (Acceptable result)

Cincinnati 34 Memphis 21 (We wanted Memphis)

Louisiana Monroe 49 Troy 37 (That game didn’t matter)
