The Big 10 tiebreaker rules:

When two teams are tied:

  1. Head to Head
  2. Record against the top team, and then descending
  3. Overall record against NCAA Division 1
  4. Coinflip

When three or more teams are tied:

  1. Head to head
  2. Record against the top team, and then descending
  3. Overall record against NCAA Division 1
  4. Random Selection
If, at any point above, a team separates itself from the multi-way tie, then it takes that seed and the remaining teams start from the top.

When stepping through the standings to break ties, teams with the same record are considered in the same pool.
