FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[teddydetitan]

Just curious if anybody knows the tiebreakers for determining who gets the automatic bid? I looked at multiple conference websites but could not find anything.

Had La Crosse held on the lead against Platteville, there would've been a three-way tie for first place. I am wondering who would have got the auto-bid if that were the case.

Each conference determines its own tiebreakers, so that is up to the WIAC. I am not familiar offhand with the up-to-date three-way tiebreaker scenario for the WIAC.

Are you sure?  If Lacrosse had beaten Platteville they'd have finished 10-4 while both Platteville and Oshkosh would be 11-3.

There is no tie breaker for the team that gets the automatic bid.  The team that wins the conference tournament gets the automatic bid.  Of course there is a system in place for seeding purposes that would resolve any ties.

First it's head to head.  Then it's other teams in ascending order.  Then it's teams in descending order.  Then it's the team with the best road record.  Finally if after all of that the seeding is not determined it's a coin toss.  A more detailed explanation is available in the WIAC handbook.  For some reason I couldn't copy it.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about football BW.

1. Head-to-head results between all tied teams.*
2. Tied teams are to be eliminated in reverse order of their last playoff appearance beginning with the
1991 season.
3. Random selection by the commissioner.

*If two (2) teams remain after a third or more teams are eliminated, the tie-breaker reverts back to
criteria #1.

In the scenario you described,
UW-W, UW-L, and UW-0 were all 1-1 between the tied teams.
UW-W and UW-0 are eliminated based on their recent playoff appearances.
UW-La Crosse would have gotten the auto-bid.

Nice article about Lance Leipold and status of Buffalo program. Didn't know they were scheduled to visit Madison in 2023. That should be fun.

Very fun- could be my first ever Badger game.
UB is one year off on their QB for this game. They started a freshman last year, but if all plays out, his senior year will be 2022. Possibly a rookie QB heading into Madison.

Thanks for sharing!  Also, just an FYI, Lance will be a guest on "Quarantined With Coaches" on YouTube on Friday.  Here is a link to Coach Shield's Youtube Channel.  There's lots of great stuff on here! Remember, Lance won't be on until Friday!

Oops, sorry about that.  I'm not sure why I thought I was on the hoops forum.  Thanks for telling me.

I thought the Packers were going to  draft a WR but the only receiver they drafted was the tight end from Cincinnati. This should be good news for Kumerow who the Packers tendered earlier.

Haven't heard if UWRF's Herink got signed, but this piece offers interesting insight into his journey. Unfortunately, the best route for D3 guys to get on the NFL's radar (mini-camps) sound like they won't be happening.

Has Discount Doublecheck commented on the first round pick?
