The goals for BYU are:



1. To go to a NY6 bowl game

2. To achieve the highest ranking possible

3. To win as many games as possible

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

5. To be better than Utah



Ideal records



BYU 11-1

Arizona 11-2 Pac-12 champs

Cal 10-2

Wisconsin 12-1 B1G champs

McNeese 11-1

Washington 10-3

USU 9-3

Hawaii 11-3

NIU 10-3 MAC Champs

Boise St. 12-1 MWC Champs

UMass 9-3

NMSU 8-4

Utah 2-10



A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.



BYU over # 6 Wisconsin



B. Cheer for the team playing Utah. Because there is no reason to cheer for Utah



#10 Washington over Utah



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



Arizona over Southern Utah

#17 Boise St. over #24 Oklahoma St

UMass over FIU

Hawaii over Army

Utah St. over Tennessee Tech

McNeese St over Nicholls State

Northern Illinois over Central Michigan

New Mexico State over New Mexico

Cal over Idaho State



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



Mississippi over #1 Alabama

Georgia Southern over #2 Clemson

MTSU over #3 Georgia

#4 Ohio St over #15 TCU

Iowa St. over #5 Oklahoma

# 7 Auburn over #12 LSU

Vanderbilt over #8 Notre Dame

UC Davis over #9 Stanford

Kent St over #11 Penn St

Louisiana Lafayette over #16 Mississippi State

SMU over #19 Michigan

SJSU over #20 Oregon

Toledo over #21 Miami

Texas over #22 USC

SDSU over #23 ASU



E. Cheer for our Opponents’ opponents unless they are playing our opponents. This helps our SOS in virtually every SOS calculation. Cheer for the team that our opponents have defeated or will likely defeat. All things being equal cheer for the more connected team (unless it violates rules A-D). For example, Washington St. is one of the most connected teams to our opponents as they play 4 games against them (Cal, Arizona, Utah, Washington). The number by the team indicates how connected they are.

Ball St. over Indiana

Boston College over Wake Forest

Charlotte over Old Dominion

Colorado 4 over New Hampshire

Colorado St. 3 over Florida

Eastern Michigan over Buffalo

UNLV 2 over Prairie View A&M

UCLA 4 over Fresno St

UTEP over Tennessee

Washington St. 4 over Eastern Washington

Western Kentucky over Louisville

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



Alabama A&M over Cincinnati

Bethune Cookman over FAU

Eastern Kentucky over Bowling Green

Has anybody seen the fake fair catch returned 90 yards for a touchdown? Awesome highlight for another game that actually went according to the guide. I was still laughing the third time I watched it.
