In response to sparman
In case you missed it, the saga continues.
The chachams in Princeton left yet another item ambiguous and is only being cleared up thanks to Mike James and Jonathan Tannenwald's persistent questioning. Check Mike's twitter account for this afternoon's latest. Apparently they now WILL break any ties among the 6-7-8 seeds, if necessary, before breaking a 4-5 tie.
This once again changes the calculus. No matter what happens, the Ivy folks need a complete makeover of the rules for next year. In some cases, far more clarity and precision are required. In others, the criteria themselves need to be scrapped or at minimum modified.
So this means that it's possible (theoretically; I have no idea how realistically) for the tie for #4 to have been broken with the eventual #4 having a worse record versus the ultimate #6 (after tie-breaking with #7) than #5 had versus ultimate #6?
