Confused? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not difficult to be, especially since these tiebreakers are quite a bit different from those used by most other conferences. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re much easier to discern, however, if you break things down step by step. Since they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re currently tied in the standings, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first use Bethel vs. St. Olaf as an example by themselves.<\/p>\n
If both teams sweep this weekend, here are the tie breaking scenarios. These two split their conference games with each team winning one, leaving them tied after the first tiebreaker. Now here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where it starts to get a little tricky. The second tiebreaker is record against all teams above those tied. If they each gain three points this weekend (one win and a tie), they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be tied for fourth and fifth place in the standings, with St. Thomas at third and Augsburg out of the playoffs at sixth.<\/p>\n
That would leave Gustavus Adolphus and Hamline as the two teams above them in the standings. Bethel split vs. Gustavus Adolphus, while St. Olaf lost one game and tied their second against the Gusties. Against Hamline, St. Olaf again lost one and tied one, while Bethel was swept. Against St. Thomas, St. Olaf split yet again, and Bethel was swept. That gives St. Olaf a record of 1-3-2, and Bethel a record of 1-5-0, which means the Oles hold the tiebreaker.<\/p>\n
The third tiebreaker is where things get really strange (to me at least.) If they had the same records against those top three teams, it would go to record against teams above in order of rank. That means that if Gustavus wins the regular season title, Bethel would own the tiebreaker since they went 1-1-0 against them while St. Olaf went 0-1-1. On the other hand, if Hamline ends up winning the MIAC, St. Olaf would win the third tiebreaker. St. Olaf didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do particularly well against Hamline, coming away with a loss and a tie, but Bethel lost twice to the Pipers, giving the edge to the Oles.<\/p>\n
This is hypothetical though, since St. Olaf holds the advantage based on the second tiebreaker if the two teams end up tied. This holds true if both teams split this weekend, and finish tied for the last playoff spot. Augsburg would now be ahead of them in the standings, but to end up tied for the last playoff spot, Bethel would need to split with Augsburg, which is exactly what St. Olaf did, so the advantage would still go to the Oles.<\/p>\n
If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still somewhat confused, I doubt you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the only one, but those are the tiebreakers the league uses, for better or worse. Now, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s break down what each team needs to do to ensure they make the playoffs, tiebreaker or no tiebreaker.<\/p>\n
Augsburg<\/b><\/p>\n
Current seed<\/b> Fourth
\nCurrent points<\/b>: 15
\nWhat they need to do<\/b>: Win. Two points against Bethel ensures Augsburg will make the playoffs. With four points, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll pass St. Thomas and clinch third place. Three points would see the Auggies tied with the Tommies, but St. Thomas holds the head to head tiebreaker.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We try to approach every game during the season as though it were a playoff game\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Augsburg head coach Chris Brown. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153With how close this league is, one game might be all it takes to make or miss the playoffs.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happened in past years, and it will most likely happen this year. Any team missing the playoffs will be able to look back to games they should have closed out but didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, games where effort was lacking, or games where the bounces didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go their way. An extra one or two points may be all that separates the final playoff spot from two other teams who missed out.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153For this last weekend, it should be a passionate, desperate game for both of us,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Brown. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Both teams will be fighting for their playoff lives, and each team should come out playing hard for 60 minutes. If Bethel can win at Augsburg on Friday, it sets up a huge game the next night where both teams will be trying to clinch a playoff berth with a win.<\/p>\n
Bethel<\/b><\/p>\n
Current seed<\/b>: Fifth (tied)
\nCurrent points<\/b> 14
\nWhat they need to do<\/b>: Win and tie. Bethel could make the playoffs by getting only a single point this weekend, but they would be depending on St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to sweep St. Olaf, and for Concordia (MN) to pick up two or fewer points against Hamline.<\/p>\n
Like Augsburg, Bethel has their destiny in their own hands. Unlike Augsburg, two points does not clinch a playoff berth for the Royals, they need at least three points to guarantee themselves a spot in the MIAC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s second season.<\/p>\n
St. Olaf<\/b><\/p>\n
Current seed<\/b>: Fifth (tied)
\nCurrent points<\/b>: 14
\nWhat they need to do<\/b>: More than Bethel. If the Oles can gain one more point than Bethel this weekend, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as simple as that. A sweep of St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s would clinch a spot for St. Olaf, as those four points would guarantee that they pass one of Augsburg or Bethel (and possibly both.)<\/p>\n
Head coach Sean Goldsworthy isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t concerned with watching other scores this weekend. <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to focus on us and how we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re playing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our goal is to make the playoffs, and hopefully peak going into them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
With only five teams making the playoffs, the fight for the playoffs tends to be tighter in the MIAC than in other leagues, especially with the high level of parity.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is a playoff caliber team, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve played very well lately, yet they might finish near the bottom of the league,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Goldsworthy. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It goes to show the depth and parity in this league.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The Oles know what they have to do to make the playoffs, if they can follow through, they will have definitely earned their spot, and any team making the playoffs has the ability to make a run not only in the MIAC playoffs, but in the NCAA tournament as well.<\/p>\n
Concordia (MN)<\/b><\/p>\n
Current seed<\/b>: Seventh
\nCurrent points<\/b>: 12
\nWhat they need to do<\/b>: Sweep and hope. The best case scenario for the Cobbers is to sweep Hamline while Augsburg and St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also sweep. Concordia can get into the playoffs without a clean sweep, but anything less than three points (or two or more points by Bethel or St. Olaf) means their season is over.<\/p>\n
However the season ends, this has been a great rebuilding year for the Cobbers. After finishing last in the MIAC the previous year, Concordia has been fighting for a playoff spot all season. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been competitive in virtually every game they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve played, and have given up a whopping 24 fewer goals in conference games this season. With the lion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s share of the team returning next season, Concordia could be one of the up and coming teams in the league.<\/p>\n
St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/b><\/p>\n
Current seed<\/b>: Eighth
\nCurrent points<\/b>: 10
\nWhat they need to do<\/b>: Honestly? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not exactly sure. If Augsburg sweeps Bethel, Hamline sweeps Concordia, and St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sweeps St. Olaf, there will be three teams tied for the final playoff position. If Concordia manages two points against Hamline, there could be four teams tied for that final spot. <\/p>\n
The MIAC tiebreakers make no distinction on how things are handled if multiple teams are tied. In the case of St. Olaf, St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, and Bethel all being tied, each team holds a head to head advantage with another. In order for this tie to happen, St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s will need to sweep St. Olaf, who split against Bethel, who swept St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. How that situation plays out isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t specified on the MIAC website. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s possible that St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is already mathematically eliminated if they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t win the tiebreaker against Bethel and St. Olaf.<\/p>\n
Either way though, the Jonnies should come into this weekend looking to play hard. A team playing loose and without pressure at the end of the season can be a dangerous opponent, as St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s well knows. Last season they missed out on a playoff spot when they were beaten by St. Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in the last game of the season. This time St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s has a chance to play the spoiler against St. Olaf. <\/p>\n
Wrap Up<\/h4>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been great following the regular season here in the MIAC. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been filled with some excellent individual and team performances, back-and-forth action, upsets, and big matchups. In some ways, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of disappointing knowing the regular season will be over after this weekend. Several teams have shown the ability to win big games and compete at a high level, but not all of them will be playing after these next two games. <\/p>\n
The parity in this league is hard to understand if you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seen the teams play regularly. Despite disparate records, any team can beat another on any given night. The parity does mean that you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t usually see any teams with a stellar record, which may give people from other regions the impression that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not very good.<\/p>\n
All anyone has to do is point to Gustavus Adolphus last year though. The Gusties finished with a 10-6-0 record in the MIAC, and a 15-10-0 record overall in the regular season. But when the playoffs started, they first won the MIAC championship, then their first two NCAA games before falling in the national title game. <\/p>\n
Whoever emerges from the MIAC playoffs will certainly be battled tested. Every team making the playoffs will have been playing significant games for the past two to three weeks at least, and the playoffs haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even started yet.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a wild ride so far, and it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t showing any signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n
Personal Note<\/h4>\n
In my opinion, a tiebreaker should compare what teams did against each other and against the league as a whole. Making or missing the playoffs because one team or another won the regular season title just doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem fair. Maybe one team was resting up for the playoffs or trying out new lines while another team was gung-ho for finishing in first. <\/p>\n
Using a tiebreaking system that uses head to head results, number of conference wins, goal differential in head-to-head games, goal differential in all league games, or number overtime losses seems much more equitable to me. It just seems to be a poor system when two teams can be dead even head-to-head, and to have the balance tipped based on what order other teams finish in. <\/p>\n
I understand the reasoning of the MIAC: they would rather have a team in the playoffs that has showed it can compete with the higher ranked teams versus one who did not. But in a potential case like Bethel and St. Olaf, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem fair to boot Bethel out of the picture if, say, Gustavus rests starters while Hamline does not. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not saying that St. Olaf is undeserving if that does happen, but I feel that after a 16 game season, that whole body of work should be taken into account. <\/p>\n
If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to pick out one or two games to focus on, then St. Olaf\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s games against Bethel should be the ones to look at. It just doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem fair to ignore a whole season and make or break someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s playoff hopes on how they did against a team they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not tied with.<\/p>\n
