Has anybody seen or confirmed the tiebreaker rules for determine seeding for B1G tourney? I searched but came up empty. I found baseball’s. I wonder if they use same tiebreakers? If so, NU would need to win one of remaining two, assuming Michigan wins out. Of course, sweep the rodents and leave no doubt. Being 1 seed is huge because would only have to play Michigan or Minnesota in tourney rather than both.
1) Head to Head. NU and Michigan did not play
2) Winning percentage against common Big Ten opponents - tied because NU’s loss would be against Minnesota, who Michigan did not play, and Michigan’s is against OSU, who NU did not play
3) Higher RPI. We are 11th, Michigan is 17. If we win 2 of 3 against gophers on the road, we might move up,Mandela I don’t see us dropping. So we win this tiebreaker.
If we lose next two, and Michigan loses one of remaining two, Minnesota is eliminated because they have a lower winning percentage due to a game having been rained out and not made up. And then we revert to tiebreakers above.
