Not sure how much it matters.. Wouldn't Wisconsin own the tiebreak over Nebraska with a Head-To-Head win? |

Not sure how much it matters.. Wouldn't Wisconsin own the tiebreak over Nebraska with a Head-To-Head win? I think the list is 'alphabetical order' for teams with the same records. If there were a post-season conference tournament, such a tiebreaker advantage would matter. But if two teams end the season with the same record, they are co-champs, regardless of any 'tiebreaker', etc. And they have another match against one another, anyway. |

But if two teams end the season with the same record, they are co-champs, regardless of any 'tiebreaker', etc. And they have another match against one another, anyway. For weekly VT purposes, I am sorting by record and then alphabet because that's how I prefer to do it. The B1G sorts by record and then overall win/loss %, but they frequently have errors in their standings and that metric also has no play in determining who the automatic qualifier is. If teams tie for first, they are all co-champions. The AQ then gets awarded based on these tie-breakers: 1. Head-to-head Conference match results. 2. If still tied, percentage of games won or lost between (among) tied teams during Conference competition. 3. If still tied, game percentage in all Conference matches. 4. If still tied, point differential of head-to-head competition (between and/or among tied teams) as specified in the International Volleyball Federation System (i.e., requires that all points won in head-to-head competition be divided by all points lost). 5. If still tied, using the International Volleyball Federation System against all Conference teams. 6. If still tied, flip of coin. For the B1G, the question is pretty much moot as the co-champions are all going to get a bid and likely a seed. The last tie was in 2017 when Nebraska earned the AQ with their H2H win over Penn State. |

It’s an unbalanced conference schedule. |

It’s an unbalanced conference schedule. For the B1G that’s correct — tie records have always shared equally in the championship (even when it was a balanced season). The only thing the tiebreakers are used for is determining the automatic qualifier for the NCAA tournament. If the B1G is ever limited to one team going to the tourney, it’ll matter. Until then, it’s just a technicality. |

If the Gophers win out, they will either be outright B1G champions or co-champions.

In that scenario are we co champions? Who gets the trophy in a scenario like that? If they have the same conference record and are 1-1 against each other on the season? |
