The Big 10 Football Tiebreakers table presents the status of each team's tiebreakers (in no particular order). Maximum, current, and minimum tiebreakers values are provided. Not all tiebreakers can be listed (such as head-to-head, common games, etc.). Desktop users can hover over a table header or value for detailed information.
Win percentage in games between the tiebreaker teams.
Every team plays its opponents either 0 or 1 time.
This tiebreaker is applicable only if all tiebreaker teams have played the each other.
Each team plays its conference opponents either zero or one times. A team wins this tiebreaker if it plays all of the tiebreaker teams and wins every such game. Likewise a team loses this tiebreaker if it plays all of the tiebreaker teams and loses every such game.
Win percentage in common games.
What is a common game? First of all it does not include any games between the tiebreaker teams. A common game is one against a common opponent. The common opponent must be common to each and every team in the tiebreaker, not just a subset of them.
Record against the highest finished (by record) common opponent. If still tied, apply the tiebreaker to the next highest common opponent. The common opponent must be common to all tiebreaker teams.
If a group of common opponents have the same record, an attempt to order those teams with only the head-to-head tiebreaker will occur. If unsuccessful, the tiebreaker teams record against the group of common opponents will be used.
Average Win Percentage of each tiebreaker team conference opponents.
