3-way tie scenario:
I may look like I am being optimistic to the point of being absurd but here goes:
If Akron beats OU and Can't, and B.G. beats Miami and Toledo beats B.G.,
then we have a 3-way tie with all teams at 5-3 conference record.
First tie-breaker is head-to-head for each of the three teams. This would be a
wash
Second tie-breaker would be division record. Again a wash.
Third tie-breaker would be the combined winning percentage of each teams
western division opponets.
If the following happens:
1.) Toledo wins out(vs N. Ill, at B.G)
2.) C. Mich wins out(at W.mich, at Ball St)
3.) Ball St wins at E. Mich
4.) N. Ill wins at home vs W. Mich
Then for B.G. combined conference win of west opponets is 15-9
Then for Akr " " " is 15-9
Then for Miami " " " is 14-10
Therefore Miami is eliminated, and since Akron beat B.G. ,
Akron wins the East.
