The goals for BYU are:

1. To win the National Championship (Killed by a herd of cows)
2. To go to a NY6 bowl game (Practically dead)
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

If you want to see these goals accomplished here is your rooting guide:

A. Cheer for BYU. Duh.

BYU over Central Florida

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

Ute bye week. Prepare for Oregon St. like BYU prepared for Utah St.

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

Houston (2-3) over Memphis.
UConn (1-4) over Tulane
Utah St. (3-2) over Air Force
Nevada (3-2) over Colorado St.
MTSU (4-2) over Marshall
Cal (4-1) over Washington
UNLV (1-5) over Fresno St.
Texas (2-3) over Oklahoma

D. Cheer for teams playing ranked teams. If both teams are ranked cheer for the team that if they win will give more votes to BYU (Of course rules A-C trump rule D).

E. Cheer for our Opponents’ opponents unless they are playing our opponents. This no longer matters. We are now focusing on our bowl game we want to play the best opponent we can. Root for the program that gives us the best bowl matchup.

The AAC bowl selection order is:

1. Playoff or NY6 bowl (if qualified)
2. Birmingham
3. St. Pete
4. Miami

Therefore we are rooting for:
