GT: Fightin' Erstads vs Illinois

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?

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.

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).

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.
