The Most recent Conference USA tiebreaker rules.:

When two teams are tied:

Head to Head
Record against the top team, and then descending
Coinflip

When three or more teams are tied:

Head to head
Record against the top team, and then descending
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.
