hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very clutch time for Chance to pitch his strongest outing of the year. What is the tiebreaker with Indiana and do we own it!?!? We do not, we would tie for the regular season title, hence a share Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 so IF there was a tie, and we didnt play Indiana for a tie-breaker, how is the 1 seed determined? ranking? rpi? flip of a coin? overall record? If we would win out and Indiana would lose out, the would be 36-15 and we would be 38-17 does playing 2 more games and losing them hurt if this is the scenario? Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Tiebreaking Procedures for Tournament Participants A. In case of a tie between the two teams for seeds 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the Conference Tournament, the tie breaker procedure is as follows: 1. The winner of the game or series of games between the two tied teams shall receive the higher seeding spot. 2. In the event these two teams divide a series between themselves, the team with the best winning percentage against all teams ending the season (tied or not) in positions 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the final Conference standings will receive the higher seeding spot. 3. Best winning percentage against Big Ten common opponents. 4. If the winning percentage of the two teams is still tied, seeding will be determined by the team that allowed the least number of runs in Conference games will be the higher seed. If the two teams have not played all 32 Conference games or an equal number of games, then to use this procedure, it is necessary to move back to a point in the season where the two teams played an equal number of games. http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/033110aaf.html this is from 2010, not sure if it is the same but im sure it is similar.

hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 The first six teams in the conference standings at the end of regular season play shall be the participants in the conference tournament. E: In case of a tie between two teams for seeds 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the Big Ten Tournament, the tiebreaker procedure is as follows: 1. The winner of the game or series of games between the two tied teams shall receive the higher seeding spot. 2. In the event these two teams divide a series between themselves, the team with the best winning percentage against all teams ending the season (tied or not) in positions 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the final conference standings will receive the higher seeding spot. 3. If the teams are still tied, seeding will be determined by the best winning percentage against Big Ten common opponents. 4. If the teams are still tied, seeding will be determined by the team that allowed the fewest number of runs in conference games. If the two teams have not played all 24 conference games or an equal number of games, then to use this procedure, it is necessary to move back to a point in the season where the two teams played an equal number of games (i.e., 23, 22, 21, etc.). 5. If the teams are still tied, seeding will be determined by a flip of the coin to be conducted by the Commissioner (or designee). Tiebreaking procedures as of 2012 Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 so basically it comes down to common opponents or, least runs given up... Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Assuming it goes to the second to last option, Indiana has given up 71 runs so far, we have given up 68. So I would assume we would get the higher seed right? unless the procedures changed this year. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 so basically it comes down to common opponents or, least runs given up... Which after today's games we have the lead. Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 right, but we have to look at common opponent winning percentage first to determine if we get to this point Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Common Opponents: Indiana 2-1 vs. Michigan 3-0 vs. Ohio State 3-0 vs. Iowa 3-0 vs. Michigan State 2-1 vs. Illinois 3-0 vs. Purdue 3-0 vs. Penn State 0-1 vs. Minnesota Percentage = 16/21 = 76.1904762% Nebraska 1-2 vs. Iowa 3-0 vs. Ohio State 3-0 vs. Minnesota 1-2 vs. Northwestern 2-1 vs. Michigan 3-0 vs. Penn State 3-0 vs. Michigan State 1-0 vs. Illinois Percentage = 16/21 = 76.1904762% 1 Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 So if we sweep Illinois, AND Minnesota sweeps Indiana we get #1 by tie-breaker I believe after my calculations. 1 Quote Link to comment
