Tie Breakers

[URMite]

Here is last year's A10 tiebreaker with references to conference and AQ eliminated.

1. Head-to-head competition.

2. Combined winning percentage versus all common opponents.

3. Should a tie remain, one (1) point will be awarded for a victory versus
a I-AA opponent from the following conferences: Big Sky, Big
South, Gateway, Ivy, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Ohio Valley, Patriot,
Southern, Southland, Southwestern Athletic, and current independents;
one-half (0.5) point will be awarded for a victory versus a I-AA opponent
from the following conferences: Metro Atlantic, Northeast, and
Pioneer; and two (2) points will be awarded for a victory versus a I-A
opponent. In addition, one (1) point will be deducted for a loss to a
Division II or Division lII opponent. Points will not be awarded for a
victory versus a Division II or III institution, nor will points be deducted
for a loss to a Division I-A or I-AA institution. The team with the
most points would receive the bid.

What are the AQ tie breakers for other conferences? Does anyone else reference FBS, DII, or non-full scholly?

Summary of #3

FBS 2 0
FULL 1 0
NON-FULL 0.5 0
DII 0 -1

I'm not trying to spam the board, just thought this was relevant in several places.

I'm still not sure how much this helps. Delaware beat a DII, and a 1-A, and UMass has all 1-AA victories, which should render them about even, from all I can tell.

As per step 3, UD gets 2.5 points for wins over Monmouth and Navy, UMass gets 2 points for wins over Holy Cross and Colgate. Neither gets a point for the win over West Chester or the loss to Boston College. UD would win a tiebreak over UMass if UD wins out and UMass loses. Still two pretty big "ifs" if you ask me.

If Both UMass and UD end up with 1 loss UD gets the bid on the strenght of their win over Navy.

89Hen explained it over on the Bracketology thread.
