Grady Whittenburg stated that it would be a 5 min o.t.  If no resolution,
then a tie.
 
My reading of that wonderfully phrased rule for non-advancement games:
"Third-place games MAY follow the overtime procedures as described in Rule 6
-47 (i.e., normal 5 minute overtime)." is that  the S.I.T. officials
couldn't run afoul no matter what they did -- 20 min, 5 min, no o.t., award
the game to Cornell on general principles... whatever.  You can't argue with
a MAY.
