I believe the only coin toss scenario involves Ga Tech being by themselves in the standings. If BC or ND tie Ga Tech in the standings then that favors Duke due to winning % against that group of teams.
MWC:
Utah State is 12-4 with SJSU and NM remaining
Nevada 12-5 with UNLV
Boise 12-5 with @ SDSU
UNLV 12-5 with @ Nevada
Nevada beat Utah State
Nevada 1-1 Boise
Nevada 1-0 UNLV with 1 pending
Utah State 2-0 Boise
Utah State beat UNLV (but doesnt matter since loser of the next game will have 6 losses)
UNLV beat Boise
Boise loses h2h against USU, Nevada and UNLV, so they would also lose all multi ways, so they're out
UNLV loses h2h to USU, so I think they can only win if USU loses 2
Nevada wins h2h vs USU
So I think it's:
USU wins out they win
USU loses 1 and Nevada > UNLV, Nevada wins
USU loses 1 and UNLV > Nevada, USU wins
USU loses 2, then UNLV/Nevada winner wins
(The only one I'm not positive about is USU loses 1, Nevada > UNLV and Boise > SDSU
USU, Nevada and Boise would finish in a 3way tie for first
USU would be 2-1 vs the opponents, Nevada would be 2-1, and Boise would be 1-2
I believe what then happens is Boise gets eliminated, and then it goes h2h USU/Nevada, and Nevada wins)

Great catch, thank you!
It's fun to have a ton of money riding on who finishes 12th in the ACC lol
ACC tiebreaker for the regular season title (not that it matters):
if UNC beats Duke, they win
If Duke beats UNC, it goes to a tiebreak
Tiebreak:
UNC lost to Syracuse and Clemson
Duke lost to Wake and Pitt
Both lost to GT
If Clemson wins @ Wake, Duke wins the tiebreak
If Wake beats Clemson and Pitt beats NC State, UNC wins the tiebreak
If Wake beats Clemson, and NC State beats Pitt, then Clemson, Cuse, Wake and Pitt finish in a 4 way tie for 4th, and it goes to a literal coin toss
Oh, it matters. At least around here. At least we’ve clinched a share, regardless. But yeah, as far as who is 1 and who is 2 for the ACCT seeding doesn’t really matter.
Granted, if we win Saturday, we are basically guaranteed the Charlotte pod for the first two rounds.
Thanks for posting this. I knew we were behind on tiebreak scenarios, as the standings are today. Coin toss would be wild.
Dook has been playing very well lately. I’m nervous about Saturday.
lol you beat me to it
I texted my friends screenshot when it was 45-7, asked if it was football season. Somebody invoked Michael Olowikandi name
Indiana, a day after they announced Mike Woodson would be retained for next season, loses their only 2024 recruit. Insiders reporting basically everyone on the roster is hitting the portal after the season. Such a lovely mess.

What's crazy is Indiana had the coach that should have brought them back in Kelvin Sampson. But a few impermissible phone calls later and Indiana's future completely changed.
Duke vs Carolina round 2, what do you guys think?
So dumb that KU-Houston tips at the same time as Kentucky-Tennessee, although KU will probably be getting blown out earlier enough to switch over.
Rock Chalk w one FG and five TOs 8:36 in
is that good?
edit: later into the game ... HOU 19 pts off TOs, KU zero pts off TOs
