3 teams all go 1-1 vs. each other. What's the tiebreaker?

If two teams finish with the same conference record, then the tie is broken by going to the head-to-head result, followed by overall record, and finally WIS rank.

If it's 3 teams I'm pretty sure it goes straight to WIS ranking.

WIS ranking would make sense. My fear is total record, which I'd lose out on.

Yes, if three teams are all 1-1 against each other, then it goes to WIS ranking.

From the FAQ section:

How do teams qualify for the conference championship?
The winners of each division within the conference will play for the conference championship. If two teams finish with the same conference record, then the tie is broken by going to the head-to-head result, followed by overall record, and finally WIS rank.

For the head-to-head results there must be a clear winner. For example if three teams are tied and their record against each other is as follows: Team 1 is 2-0, Team 2 is 1-1 and Team 3 is 0-2 Team 1 would be chosen to play in the conference championship. If there was a four team tie such as the following: Team 1 is 2-1, Team 2 is 2-1, Team 3 is 1-2 and Team 4 is 1-2 there is no clear winner and the tiebreaker will move on to overall record.

Note: The standings page is not currently updated using the tiebreaker.

panthsho is correct. overall record is before WIS ranking. which is weird because it rewards weak scheduling.

This was a change made about 6 or 7 years ago. It used to not include head to head results as any part of the tie breaker....so this was in improvement.
