Nah we get the bye thanks to our tie-breaking W over The Huskers. They have Purdue, @Mich, @MSU, Iowa. We have Minn, @Iowa, PSU, @IU.

I like our chances.

We need another win for me to feel comfortable.

What if Nebraska, Indiana and Rutgers tie at 6-14 for 10, 11 and 12th place with IU beating Rutgers in the last game

What if Nebraska, Indiana and Rutgers tie at 6-14 for 10, 11 and 12th place with IU beating Rutgers in the last game

I don’t know what the tiebreakers are, but if it is record within that group of three RU would win.

B. Multiple team tie:

1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular-season.

a. When comparing records against the tied teams, the team with the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1, but 2-0 is not better than 1-0).

b. After the top team among the tied teams is determined, the second team is ranked by its record among the original tied teams, not the head-to-head record vs. the remaining team(s).

2. If the remaining teams are still tied, then each tied team’s record shall be compared to the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

a. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.

b. When comparing records against a single team or group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1, but 2-0 is not better than 1-0).

3. Won-loss percentage of Division I opponents.

4. Coin toss conducted by Commissioner or designee.

We'd be 2-1 against the group. Indiana would be 1-2. Nebraska would be 1-1.

So we'd be #10, Nebraska #11, and Indiana #12 in this scenario.

Interestingly, that 3-way tie is better for us than just a tie with Indiana at 6-14 and Nebraska at 5-15. Because Indiana would win the tiebreaker against us if it were just the two of us.
