Good to see them working on a tie-breaker system. They managed to resist the idea of yet another Ivy playoff. Will wonders never cease.

How the Patriot League breaks ties for football:

a. If a tie exists, the higher seed will go to the team that won the most head-to-head League contest(s) played against the other team(s) involved in the tie.

b. If a tie still exists, a comparison of League records will be made between the tied institutions starting at the highest seed and continuing through the lowest seed, if necessary.

c. If a tie still exists, a comparison of records against common out-of-league opponents will be made.

d. If a tie still exists, a committee consisting of the athletics directors of each of the institutions not involved in the tie will make a final decision. The committee should consider various factors including, but not limited to, the following examples. Note: the examples are listed in no particular order:
1. strength of schedule
2. overall record
3. computer rankings
4. performance during second half of season

*****

This season, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Columbia were tied at 5-2. If the IL had used PL procedures, then Harvard goes to the playoffs under (a) above, because H beat D and C
