In the event of a four way tie for the division does anybody know who wins? If Iowa and Minnesota win next weekend there would be a four way tie for first. I would think that Wisconsin wins but, I'm not sure. Anybody know for sure?
 
The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:
(a) If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
(b) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 6 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other.
2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division.
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, 6, and 7).
4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents.
5. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative.
6. The representative will be chosen by random draw.
 
Out of the four possible outcomes next week, Wisconsin wins in 3 of them. Nebraska only wins with a win at Kinnick and a Minnesota win. Nebraska has to be ahead of Wisconsin to win the West, since Wisconsin owns the tiebreaker.

A 4-way tie at 6-3 ends up Wisconsin-Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota.
