Tiebreaker Procedure
Ties in winning percentage, and thus for Tournament seeding positions shall be broken according to the following.

Between TWO teams:
A. Head-to-head competition
B. Winning percentage* vs. ranked conference teams (top to bottom vs. common opponents regardless of the number of times played)
C. Coin flip
* - Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other the same number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500).

For MULTIPLE (3 or more) team ties
E. Total won-lost record of games played among the tied teams
F. Two (2)-team tie-breaker procedure goes into effect (refer to A).

NOTE: Once a three-team tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker will go into effect.

* - Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other the same number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500)

With 4 Games to go before Cleveland, the Top 5 Seeds are Akron (12-2), Toledo, (11-3), CMU (10-4), OU (9-5) & BG (8-6). Their remaining schedules:

Akron (@OU, NIU, EMU, @WMU)
Toledo (NIU, @Buf, @MU, KS)
CMU (BS, @ KS, @NIU, EMU)
OU (Akron. BG, @Buff, @MU)
BG (MU< @OU, @WM, BS)

If Toledo wins out, they finish no worse then a #2 Seed. To get the #1 Seed, they obviously need to win out, Akron needs 1 loss (best chance Tuesday at OU), and OU needs to finish 3rd as Toledo swept them during the regular season and Akron would have split with them. We lose tiebreaker with CMU as they defeated us in lone game played this season.

With all that said, seedling does not guarantee anything as the last 40+ seasons painfully have shown. However, its still fun to speculate and keep us dialed in to what can happen these next two weeks!

The only disappointment with the BG loss was the ability to claim 4 straight regular season titles. Other than that, it will affect nothing in out pursuit for a favorable outcome in Cleveland. From what I've seen from this years MAC is anyone can beat anyone and anyone can lose to anyone.

Went to the Miami/CMU game yesterday cause they were giving out free tickets down here.

Miami played well, but cmu just didn’t look good. Left there wondering how they’re where they’re at and wonder if there’s gonna be some regression to the mean for them over the next couple of weeks.
