Conference Tiebreaker

Post by texasmustang10 »

What's the tiebreaker for when SMU and Louisville inevitably both go undefeated in conference? BCS ranking?

Two-Way Tie
1. The winner of the head to head match-up will represent The American in the Bowl Championship Series.
2. If still tied, the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings will be the BCS representative.
Three-Way Tie
1. If one team defeated both other teams, then that team shall be the representative.
2. If still tied, and if two teams defeated the third team, the third team is eliminated. The remaining two teams
revert to the two-team tie procedure.
3. If still tied, the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings will be the BCS representative.
Four-Way Tie
1. If one team defeated the other three teams, then that team shall be the representative
2. If still tied, and three of the four teams defeated the fourth team, the fourth team is eliminated. The
remaining three teams revert to the three-way tie procedure.
3. If still tied, and two of the four teams defeated the other two teams, the latter two teams shall be eliminated.
The two remaining teams shall revert to the two-team tie procedure.
4. If still tied, the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings will be the BCS representative.

I know that was one of the old SWC tie breaker rules to determine who went to the Cotton Bowl in the event there was a SWC Co-Champion. Maybe that is what you were thinking.

Some other conferences do as well.
