Quick breakdown of TEAMS we want to win (hint: very nice)
Posted this last week after BYU defeated Wyoming. The Xs are what we wanted and the Ls are not. So:

X - BYU over USU
X - UCLA in a squeaker over 15 Washington (both are undefeated at this point - no tough games played)
X - 4 Michigan over (3-1) IOWA. Michigan has played nobody, but we don't want Iowa sneaking ahead of BYU
X - 14 Ole Miss over 7 Kentucky. Both are undefeated and neither has played anyone. Ole Miss has a tough end of year schedule. Kentucky does not. Regardless of who wins, this benefits BYU this week.
X - (3-0) TCU over 18 OU. TCU isn't good and we want to move OU behind us
X - (2-2) Purdue over 21 Minnesota. It is always good to give undefeated teams an L. Gives BYU some breathing room.
X - TT vs 25 KSU doesn't matter. Both are 3-1 and behind BYU.
L - (3-1) Oregon State over 12 uu. Two reasons that are too obvious to type.
L - 20 Arkansas over 1 Alabama. BYU plays Arkansas and we want them ranked as high as possible. And Bama is Bama.
L - (3-1) Rutgers over Ohio State. Just because I'd like to see Ohio State as the #5 in ESPN's Bottom Ten.
L - 16 Bayor over 9 Oklahoma State. I had a hard time with this one, but a Baylor W makes BYU's W looks better. Doesn't matter. Benefits BYU.
X - 11 Penn State is going to beat (1-3) Northwestern, so.... (Go Wildcats).
X - 22 Wake Forest (3-1) over 23 Florida State (4-0). Down with undefeated teams.
X - (3-1) Miss State over 17 A&M – because I like Leach and don't like A&M (ever). And it would help BYU move up a spot.
X - 1 Georgia is going to beat Missouri (2-2), so.... (Go Tigers).
X - 5 Clemson over 10 NC State because it is more likely that BYU can move ahead of NC State (a good win against TT, that's it).
- 24 Pittsburgh is going to roll GT (1-3) because the Yellow Jackets are bad. Go GT. (I like GT because they played BYU at BYU)
- 6 USC is going to roll ASU (1-3). I'm OK with it if it means that uu doesn't go to the Rose Bowl again.
- 13 Oregon is going to roll Stanford. I'd prefer Stanford lose, so that BYU recruits will stop going there.

I'm guessing that less than a third of what I hope happens happens. If the Cougars keep winning, I'm satisfied.
