Whoa. Be careful here
Even if Dartmouth sweeps and gets into a tie with Union, under your scenario
Union would still get to the playoffs.
Why? The first tiebreaker after head-to-head record (which Dartmouth and Union
are tied at 1-1) is record vs. the Top 4. In order for Dartmouth to qualify,
Colgate must be in the Top 4, according to the information I have. Dartmouth
is 1-1 against Colgate this year whereas I believe Union has a worse record
than that. In any event, Dartmouth needs Colgate to finish in the top 4 to win
the tiebreaker with Union.
Under your scenario Dartmouth wouldn't make the playoffs, b/c you have Colgate
in 5th.
