If wvu wins they are in.
If miami wins we go to a 3 way tie breaker?
I am still not sure how the ball state stuff factors in to all of this.
OK. These are just my thoughts of what I would expect to happen. I know absolutely nothing about what would be decided, so please dont take this as anything more then a logical guess.
If WVU wins today, that puts them at 3-3 in the conference. Purdue would be at 2-3. Even if you do not include WVU's win over Ball St, giving each team a 2-3 record, WVU holds the tie-breaker over Purdue due to their win over Purdue on 4/12. So WVU would get the #3 seed. I think that should be pretty straight forward.
Now, if Miami were to beat WVU, that would put WVU and Miami at 2-4, Purdue at 2-3. This is where it gets tricky.
-Based on whats been mentioned before, I would
guess that the CCLA board would not count Miami's or WVU's wins over Ball St, putting each teams record at 1-4, and giving Purdue the better conference record and the #3 seed. Even if you still counted the Ball St games for WVU and Miami, Purdue would have the better conference winning percentage, so they could be awarded the #3 seed for that reason as well.
-You could however, also say that each team has two conference wins, and do a 3-way tie breaker. I would not guess this would be the case. But it is a possibility.
We will have to wait and see the results of this afternoons game. Congrats to Purdue for an impressive win over Indiana this weekend.
