Big Ten Football Championship game tiebreaking procedure
The Big Ten will utilize a ranking system rather than a division system for this year's championship. The teams that finish No. 1 and No. 2 in conference play will earn a berth to the title game.
However, in the event multiple teams are tied for those top two spots, here's how the conference will determine the teams playing in Indianapolis with tiebreaking procedures.
- The tied teams will be compared based on head-to-head matchups during the regular season.
- The tied teams will be compared based on record against all common conference opponents.
- The tied teams will be compared based on record against common opponents with the best conference record and proceeding through the common conference opponents based on their order of finish within the conference standings.
- The tied teams will be compared based on the best cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents.
- The representative will be chosen based on the highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the regular season.
- The representative will be chosen by random draw among the tied teams conducted by the Commissioner or designee.
