picks would result in two teams remaining ahead of BYU. For example, if Wisconsin beats LSU then it strengthens Wisconsin's case more than it hurts LSU's. I'd switch around probably half of your picks there.

Its the same thing, but color coding helps the big games stand out.

I use the LSU one because I can't access google docs from work

Its the same thing, just in spreadsheet, color-coded form

You really are a CB Treasure. Do you do this every week?

I plan on it.

Bless you. But rule B to always cheer against Utah is untrue & sour grapes.

Rule B might be the best part

It is far better to treat them as if they don't exist. "Oh, you had a game

Actually, there is a logical reason to root

^^this^^ It is immensely better to have a rival school do poorly to do a couple

It's the definition of a rival. You don't ever root for your rival. Grow Up

No it isn't...there is never any reason to cheer for the yewts. Tried it once

I agree because I would switch order B and C

#1 recruiting opponent, definitely want them to lose if only for that reason

This would actually be a cool app. Enter your favorite team, pick your rival, and then

Just build it now. It probably wouldn't make a ton of money by itself and it would be expensive to

I'm just starting (not even in the programming classes yet) and my plate will

I think you're onto something here. I don't download a ton of apps, but I would this one.

8/31/16 7:10am

hmmm, I could build this pretty quick. BUT I have no inclination to upkeep all

Spine

8/31/16 8:56am

Nope. You'd have to use some API. And I've looked into building sports apps before but

Goal #4 should really be at the bottom, once all other goals are missed

Guy On A Buffalo

8/31/16 8:32am

I cheer for BYU, Utah's current opponent, and Oregon State, in that order

CougarThug

8/31/16 8:35am

What? Maine has a football team?

Guy On A Buffalo

8/31/16 8:35am

Holy crap, I would hate CFB if I had to do this much planning and thinking

RaggaeCoug

This list represents good times...it goes away once we lose.

Guy On A Buffalo

8/31/16 8:54am

what if UCLA winning is good for BYU? i want them to be ranked when we play

Hill4Heisman

8/31/16 11:11am

Do you root for Utah if their win is good for BYU?

RaggaeCoug

8/31/16 12:32pm

I would love if the Holy War had the implications of Michigan vs. Ohio St

Ulysses14

Cheer against Utah every week. No matter what

davidnairn

8/31/16 9:00am

Cheer against every Pac12 team

Yes!

I would change rooting for CSU. If they get Big12 invite we would be in too
