Forse la differenza punti o differenza TD non è poi una cattiva idea.

Tie breaker per la Big Ten, con tre squadre o più al vertice.
B. If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 8 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step (or sub-step), the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative. If the game between the two teams was cancelled, move to two-team tiebreaker above. If three or more teams remain tied after any step, move to next step in tiebreaker with remaining tied teams.
1. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage in games between the tied teams: (a) Example: East 1 is 2-0 in games between the tied teams with wins over East 2 and 3 - East 1 would be the representative.
3 (b) In the event of an unbalanced schedule, if one or multiple teams did not play all teams in the group of tied teams, move to next step in tiebreaker.
2. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage within their division: (a) In the event of an unbalanced schedule: i. If all teams have the same number of division losses but a different number of division wins, move to next step in tiebreaker. ii. If all teams have a different number of division losses, the teams will be compared based on winning percentage within their division. iii. If some teams have one division loss and some teams have two or more division losses, the teams will be compared based on winning percentage within their division. If multiple teams are separated from the group with the best winning percentage, move to next step in tiebreaker with those teams.
3. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, 6, and 7): (a) When arriving at a group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record based on winning percentage against the collective tied teams as a group, rather than record against the individual teams. (b) In the event of an unbalanced schedule: i. If one or all teams did not play a certain team, move to the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish. ii. If one or all teams did not play all teams in the group of tied teams, move to the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish. iii. If one or all teams did not play the lowest placed team in their division, move to next step in tiebreaker.
4. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage against all common conference opponents.
5. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents: (a) Example: East 1 non-divisional opponents are 20-7, East 2 non-divisional opponents are 19-8, East 3 non-divisional opponents are 14-13 – East 1 would be the representative. (b) In the event of an unbalanced schedule, the records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents, regardless of how many non-divisional opponents each team played. If one or more teams played no non-divisional opponents, move to next step in tiebreaker.
6. The records of the three (or more) tied teams will be compared based on winning percentage against the highest placed non-divisional teams in their division order of finish (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7): (a) When arriving at a group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record based on winning percentage against the collective tied teams as a group, rather than record against the individual teams. (b) When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the record will prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e. 1-0 is better than 0-0, 2-0 is better than 1-0, etc.) 4
7. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative, regardless of number of games played.
8. The representative will be chosen by random draw.
(non posso credere che non si possano aggiungere altri step prima del sorteggio...)
If one or both of the Big Ten division champions is ineligible to play in the Big Ten Championship Game, then the participant(s) in the Big Ten Championship Game shall be determined by the following procedure:
a) If the ineligible team is tied for the division championship, then the team it tied with shall be the Big Ten Championship Game representative. b) If two or more teams are tied with an ineligible team for the division championship, then the ineligible team is removed and the remaining teams revert to the tie-break procedure.
c) The division runner-up shall be the Big Ten Championship Game representative.
d) If there is a division runner-up tie, then the tied teams shall revert to the tie-break procedure.
If the championship game cannot be played... evito di aggiungere il resto.
