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 (Killed by Knights in Orlando)
3. To achieve the highest ranking possible (No four loss BYU team has finished ranked, but the 1991 team did with a 8-3-2 record. It's possible, but not probable)
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 MTSU

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

ASU over Utah

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

UConn (1-6) over UCF (5-2)
Houston (4-3) over USF
Cal (4-4) over Oregon St.
Texas (3-5) over Texas Tech
Virginia (4-4) over Georgia Tech
Utah St. (5-3) over Hawaii
Nevada (5-3) over SDSU
UNLV (2-6) over New Mexico

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:

Cincinnati over Tulane
Memphis over Tulsa

F. Cheer for the non P5 over P5 because it is fun

Old Dominion over Vanderbilt
