B1G Tournament Tiebreakers?

[regoratsginrom]

Depending on what happens this last week, Nebraska could be tied with several teams for the B1G tournament. 3 teams get left out. Among the bottom half of the standings who do we own tiebreakers over (not sure how that works)? Seems Minnesota, Penn State, Rutgers, USC and possibly tOSU would be ahead of us based on head to head. If we beat Iowa (or tOSU), not sure how that works. Anyone know the formula?

This discussion is painful and depressing… nfm

Sounds like if USC loses twice our place in the B1G tournament is secure regardless of what we do.

First tiebreaker as you said is head-to-head. Second tiebreaker is the team with the win over the highest ranked team according to the standings I believe. For example, Minnesota beat Michigan, so definitely a plus for the tiebreaker system.

Unless USC looses 2. That’s the likely scenario.

NW lost to UCLA tonight. They have to win at Maryland on Sat to get 8 wins. If they lose we would hold the tiebreaker with them at 7-13 if we go 0-2 against OSU and Iowa.
