VIDEO: What happens in a three-way tie?
Published:
After Michigan State shocked Michigan on Saturday, the natural question was, can the Wolverines still win the East? If Ohio State beats Michigan State but loses to Michigan in the regular season finale, we would likely be looking at three 7-1 teams in the B1G East. As the Big Ten Network’s Tom Dienhart explained, it would come down to the fifth tie-breaker, which would be the College Football Playoff poll rankings.
