What happens in a 4-way tie for the B1G Leaders Title?

• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  If we win out, Wisky loses to Illinois but beats PSU, and Purdue wins out, there will be a 4-way tie atop the division. Who would go to the B1G title game?

  I would assume the highest ranked team in the BCS. I have zero proof to back that up though.

  I don't know. But here's what it would be head to head between the 3 teams.
  
  Wisconsin: 2-1
  Ohio State: 2-1
  Penn State: 1-2
  Purdue: 1-2

  1. If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative
  2. If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
     1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other
     2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division
     3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, and 6)
     4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
     5. The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big Ten regular season conference play shall be the representative in the Big Ten Championship Game, unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of each other in the BCS poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big Ten Championship
     6. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative
     7. The representative will be chosen by random draw.

  Ohio State in this scenario.

  So, based on the above, OSU would get the nod based on the head-to-head win over Wisconsin.

  im holding out hope for random draw

  If those are the tie breaker rules, and i'm sure they are, then Ohio State goes....they would have the best record by rule number 2..

  I'm sure Bucks fans are rejoicing, knowing that Ohio State controls its own destiiny with some help.

  Really the scenario is simpler then that. If OSU wins out and Illinois comes back to win and Wisconsin beats PSU next week you'd have a 3-way tie and OSU would go to the title game because they'd be 2-0 against the other 2.
