scott7151. To win as many games as possible
2. To achieve the highest ranking possible
3. To play the best bowl team possible
4. To be better than Utah
If you want to see these goals accomplished here is your rooting guide:
A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.
BYU over San Jose St.
B. Cheer for the team playing Utah. Because there is no reason to cheer for Utah
Washington over Utah
C. Cheer for BYUâs opponents. This helps SOS which does help our overall ranking
Cincinnati over #25 Houston
East Carolina over South Florida
Fresno St over Nevada
Michigan over Rutgers
Missouri over #20 Mississippi St.
Nebraska over #7 Michigan St.
UCLA over Oregon St.
UConn over Tulane
Utah St over New Mexico
Wagner over Bryant
D. Cheer for teams playing teams ranked ahead of BYU. Also, cheer for unranked teams vs. ranked teams. If both teams are ranked cheer for the team with more probable losses in their future (Of course rules A-C trump rule D).
#1 Clemson over #16 Florida St.
#2 LSU over #4 Alabama
Minnesota over #3 Ohio St.
#5 Notre Dame over Pitt (ND making the playoff could squeeze out Big 12 and Pac 12. Also if Pitt wins this game they jump ahead of us)
Kansas St. over #6 Baylor
#8 TCU over #14 Oklahoma St.
Indiana over #9 Iowa
Vanderbilt over #10 Florida
Colorado over #11 Stanford
Navy over #13 Memphis
Iowa St. over #15 Oklahoma
Arkansas over #18 Ole Miss
Auburn over #19 Texas A&M
Penn St. over #21 Northwestern
SMU over #22 Temple
E. Cheer for teams playing teams that could eventually be ranked ahead of BYU (unless it violates rules A-D).
Arizona over USC
Kentucky over Georgia
Virginia over Miami
Boston College over NC State
Maryland over Wisconsin
F. Root for the best bowl matchup. We will play a Pac-12 team in Vegas or an AAC team in Hawaii (unless it violates rules A-E)
Tulsa over UCF
Oregon over Cal (Oregon has a slightly tougher schedule down the stretch)
Washington St. over Arizona St. (WSU has a better record)
G. Root for the weakening of the Big 12 to keep them out of the playoff and move them toward expansion (unless it violates rules A-F)
WVU over Texas Tech
Kansas over Texas
H. It really doesnât matter
All other games.
