Re: 2015-2016 Road to Sioux Falls
I think what you are proposing could certainly happen. However, I think IPFW still gets the #1 seed based on the fact that they were 2-0 against UNO while the jacks were 1-1. Both teams split with NDSU and ORU. That would give IPFW a 1 game advantage in any scenario if the Jacks and IPFW finish in a tie.
Short story....Jacks are the #2 seed almost certainly. Here's the rules, maybe I'm interpreting them wrong.
•If there are multiple ties, the ties shall be broken in descending order. (i.e., a tie at the #1 position will be broken before any others).
•Once a tie is broken using the procedures below, it shall remain broken for purposes of all future comparisons.
•Two-team Tiebreaking Criteria. The following criteria should be applied (in order) to break ties between two teams:
1.Results of head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
2.Comparison of each tied team's record against the team occupying the highest position in the standings continuing down through the standings until a team gains an advantage.
3.When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group's own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
4.If a tie still cannot be broken after applying criteria (1), (2) and (3), it will be broken by comparing each tied team's RPI (based upon the RPIratings.com Report issued on the morning following the last regular season League game).
•Multiple-Team Tiebreaking Criteria. The following criteria should be applied to break ties between more than two teams:
1.Results of each tied team's collective record against the other teams tied for the same position.
2.If multiple ties still remain, then each tied team's record shall be compared to the team or group (if 2 or more are tied) occupying the highest position in the standings continuing down through the standings until a team gains an advantage.
3.If the above results in two teams remaining, the two-team tiebreaker is used.
4.If a tie involving three or more teams still cannot be broken after applying criteria (1) and (2), it will be broken by comparing each tied team's RPI (based upon the RPIratings.com Report issued on the morning following the last regular season League game.)
