E. Cheer for our Opponentsâ 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.
