🏈 Questions still to be answered: How do conferences handle tie-breakers with games being postponed and canceled?

[TerryP]

Take the PAC as one example.

What happens when we're looking at two teams with identical records, their head to head game is canceled due to their policies, and they're looking to decided who goes to the conference championships?

I am thinking the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 avoid this due to the number of games being played. I don't think we'll see all of the B1G play their schedule due to their policy and it's a definitely of more concern with the small schedule the PAC is playing.

I'm guessing it all falls down to voters?

Every conference has tiebreaker procedures. The Big 12 Tiebreaker Procedures addresses that very issue in final paragraph.

"In the event that scheduled regular season contests cannot be played as originally scheduled, every effort shall be made to reschedule such a contest at the earliest possible date, provided that such rescheduling does not interfere with classes, examination periods, NCAA rules, or other sports prohibitions. If contests cannot be rescheduled and in the event of a first-place tie, the Conference tiebreaker system will be utilized to determine championship game participants or a Conference Champion."

Works the same as if weather cancels a game.
