The goals for BYU are:



1. To achieve the highest ranking possible

2. To win as many games as possible

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

4. To be better than Utah



Ideal records



BYU 10-2

Arizona 10-3 Pac-12 champs

Cal 10-3

Wisconsin 12-1 B1G champs

McNeese 11-1

Washington 10-2

USU 9-3

Hawaii 10-4

NIU 10-3 MAC Champs

Boise St. 11-2 MWC Champs

UMass 8-4

Utah 2-10



A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.

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



#14 Stanford over Utah



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

#16 Wisconsin over Nebraska

McNeese State over Abilene Christian

#10 Washington over UCLA

Hawaii over Wyoming

Northern Illinois over Ball State

Boise State over San Diego State

UMass over South Florida

New Mexico State over Liberty



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).



Arkansas over #1 Alabama

Vanderbilt over #2 Georgia

Indiana over #3 Ohio St

Wake Forest over #4 Clemson

#5 LSU over #22 Florida

#6 Notre Dame over #24 Virginia Tech

#=7 Oklahoma over #19 Texas

Florida St over #17 Miami

Northwestern over #20 Michigan St

ASU over #21 Colorado

Boston College over #23 NC St.

ISU over #25 Oklahoma St



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.
