If 4 teams tie we win the divisionIf SMU, Memphis and Tulane win on Saturday, it would create a 4 way tie at the top of the West. Here are the tiebreakers. I believe that option d would come into play and result in us winning the division. And then playing UCF in the championship game, losing that and losing a bowl and finishing at 6-8 :
MULTIPLE TEAM TIE FOR THE DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP a. If three or more teams are tied atop a division at the end of the season, the following criteria are used to eliminate teams until just two teams remain, at which point the two-team tiebreaking procedure is used; b. If one team defeated all other teams, then that team shall be declared the division champion; c. If still tied, and if two teams defeated the additional tied team (s), the defeated team(s) is eliminated; d. If still tied, highest winning percentage of tied teams within the division; e. If still tied, head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the next best overall Conference winning percentage (4, 5, and 6) breaking ties using the conference tie-breaking procedures proceeding through the division until one team prevails; f. If still tied, combined highest winning percentage against all common non-divisional Conference opponents; g. If still tied, if one team was ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings and wins in the final weekend of the Conference regular season, they will be declared the division champion, If in that same scenario, the team that was the highest-ranked team in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings loses in the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) will be used to determine the division champion; h. If there are multiple teams ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings, the highest-ranked team that wins in the final weekend of the Conference regular season will be declared the division champion; i. If none of the ranked teams win in the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) after all games conclude the final weekend of the Conference regular season will be used to determine the division champion; j. If no teams are ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings going into the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) after all games conclude the final weekend of the Conference regular season will be used to determine the division champion; k. If still tied, the team with the highest overall (Conference and non-conference winning percentage [excluding exempt games] shall be the division champion; l. If still tied, coin toss will be conducted by the Commissioner.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionI'm hoping we win along with Houston and Tulane. Do we really want to play in the conference championship with a 6-6 record? I know UCLA did in 2011 and then petitioned for an exemption to qualify for a bowl game as a 6-7 team due to the fact that the 7th loss came in the conference championship and subsequently ended the season 6-8. I think that is more embarrassing than something to be proud of.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionthat would be a hoot.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionare you both assuming we lose the bowl game?
and why if you don't even know who and where we play? C-ya @ Milos!
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionI meant winning the tie breaker which would be so great.
we would lose to ucf. too early to call bowl game since we don't know who we are playing.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the division
I'm assuming we would lose the conference championship game at UCF. Then depending on who we play in a bowl game would finish the season at best 7-7 or at worst 6-8, which to me is not a good look.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionWe need to win at Tulsa and I think without King, Memphis will win. So 3-4 way tie for first is a strong possibility. Nice for first year. Beat Tulsa.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionI would love another chance against Central Florida and certainly don't assume it would be a loss!
Shake It Off Moody
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionI think Memphis will actually be the winner of the division in that case. B kicks in if one team swept all the other teams they tied with, which wouldn't be the case. C says to eliminate any teams that lost to two teams, which in that case would be Houston (with losses to SMU and Memphis) and Tulane (with losses to SMU and Houston). Then you go back to A as only two teams remain, and Memphis has the edge there with the win over SMU.
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisiontrue Memphis wins the tie breaker
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the division
"If two teams defeated the other tied teams". That would hold true if SMU and Memphis both defeated Houston AND Tulane. However, Memphis lost to Tulane, invalidating that rule. So I think D would be applied and we would win?
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the division
I see what you are saying - I interpreted as any team having more than one loss among the pool of tied teams. Hope you are correct.

UCF
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the division
No google allowed. Tell me the final record of the 6 win bowl teams last year. Nobody pays attention to that. You want the practices, the swag, the experience of a bowl game for both fans and players, and at least a losing trophy for the trophy case. Of course we fans may cringe a little but it is just a blip in the big scheme of things. The little bowls are for fun. Only the big boys get serious. All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: If 4 teams tie we win the divisionThe way I understand it we ain’t winning no tiebreaker at 6-6
