As we head into the final week of Maction, it's good to review the tie-breaking procedures for tournament qualifying and seeding. Top 8 get in and everyone except for Toledo and Western Michigan have a shot with two left to play. TIE-BREAKER PROCEDURETies in winning percentage, and thus for tournament, seeding positions shall be broken as follows: 1. Between TWO teams:A. Head-to-head competition B. Division Record (10 games)^ C. Winning percentage* vs. ranked conference teams (top to bottom, regardless of division, vs. common opponents regardless of the number of times played) D. Coin flip 2. For MULTIPLE (3 or more) team ties:E. Total won-lost record/winning percentage* of games played among the tied teams F. Two (2)-team tie-breaker procedure goes into effect (refer to A) [NOTE: Once a three-team tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker will go into effect.] ^ - For the purpose of determining the Division champion. This tiebreaker is ONLY used for seeding purposes if the two teams in question are tied for the Division lead. (Teams will still be considered co-divisional champions)
* - Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other the same number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500).

Huge win for Bowling Green tonight as they come from behind to take out the MAC leader Miami. The Falcons have a chance to steal the 1 seed in the tournament* and also opens the door for Central Michigan. As usual, it will all come down to the final day of the season.
* With the better conference winning percentage, Miami would get the higher seed in the event of a tie. Still a possibility to be co-division champions though.

Central Michigan with a come from behind win to clinch at least a share of their first MAC West divisional title in more than 15 years. They are still in play for the 1 seed in the tournament with a win tomorrow and a Miami loss. Chips rooting for Broncos? Fire Up!

Still plenty to play for tonight for the tournament teams. Top 2 seeds get a double bye; seeds 3 and 4 get a single bye. Here's the key matchups tonight: Western Michigan @ Miami - 6:00 p.m.ET Watch Live Stats - Miami clinches the 1 seed with a win or a CMU loss, either way they get a double bye in the tourney UPDATE: Miami sweeps WMU to win the MAC East and claim the #1 seed in the tournament Northern Illinois @ Bowling Green - 5:00 p.m.ET Watch Live Stats - Bowling Green will be looking to secure a first round bye with a win UPDATE: Bowling Green beats NIU in 5; guaranteed a first round bye Akron @ Ohio - 5:00p.m.ET Watch Live Stats - Akron has a chance to sneak into the 4 seed slot and a 1st round bye with a win and a BGSU loss UPDATE: Akron drops its fourth straight, will play in the opening round Central Michigan @ Ball State - 7:00 p.m.ET Watch Live Stats - CMU can clinch the Division title solo with a win and gets the 1 seed with a win and a Miami loss. If I understand the tie-breaker correctly, I think they would still get the 2 seed with a loss with a better conference winning % UPDATE: Ball State takes out Central in 4
