Question on Tie-Breakers

[Fieldhouseman]

What is the scenario if the following happens

Iowa finishes 10-2 overall and 7-2 in the division and beats Purdue and Northwestern

Do we still need Wisconsin to lose one of their last games because they beat us ?

What are the possible tie breaking rules if Iowa, Wisconsin , Purdue and Norrhwestern somehow all end up in s tie

Wisconsin has a 1/2 game lead on us, so yes, they must lose one more. Basically, we're in the same position as the start of the day: win out and hope for 1 more UW loss.

If Iowa & Wisconsin win out, and NW wins out outside of the Iowa game ---- the tie-breaker would actually be "aggregate conference record of the 3 B1G East teams played."

That's kind of a stupid tie-breaker, but that would literally be what it would come down to. The above metric would take precedence over "overall record, including non-conference games."

Iowa, Wisconsin and Northwestern all 1-1 against each other.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Northwestern all 5-1 against the B1G West.
