Teams can earn points for each of the following criteria:
1. Head to head Competition (one point per game)
2. Record against common opponents
3. Record against teams under consideration
4. Record in last 20 games
5. Ratings percentage index
The record in the last 20 games, the record against teams
under consideration, the ratings percentage index, and
the number of pairwise comparisons won are listed above.
(for individual comparisons, subtract head to head record
from the overall 'being considered' record given above.)
The Ratings percentage index is used as a tiebreaker.
Since Nebraska-Omaha and Niagara both fit the definition of
an Emerging Program, and the NCAA does not include emerging programs
in their calculations, their games are not included.
Summaries of head to head competition results, record
against common opponents, and overall pairwise
comparisons are given in 3 tables below.
