We all know it's "win and you're in," but I just want to play out the scenario of how things break down on a potential three-way tie if New Mexico and Boise State both win on Saturday.
I'm taking the tiebreaking procedures from the rules linked here: http://www.mwcconnection.com/mountain-west-football/2014/10/20/7019957/mountain-west-football-tiebreaker-rules
In the event of a percentage tie for a divisional championship between more than two teams, the
following comparison procedure shall be used to eliminate all but two tied teams, at which point the two‐team tie‐breaking procedure shall be used:
a) Winning percentage in games played among the tied teams.
Wyoming 1-1
New Mexico 1-1
Boise State 1-1
Eliminated: None
b) Winning percentage in games played against division opponents.
Wyoming 4-1
Boise State 4-1
New Mexico 3-2
Eliminated: New Mexico
With New Mexico eliminated, the two-team tiebreaker is used between Wyoming and Boise State:
In the event of a percentage tie for a divisional championship between two teams, if one team was the
winner of the Conference game between the two teams, it shall be the divisional champion.
Eliminated: Boise State
Am I applying these tiebreakers correctly?
