Let us assume that SRU somehow loses to Cal a week or so hence (Don't think it will happen!) and there is then a three way tie in PSAC West. And, yes I know I am guilty of making other assumptions about some other encounters! How is it then decided which one of the three--SRU, Cal U, or IUP-- would represent the PSAC West in the PSAC Championship Game with the winner of the PSAC East. I guess the same question could be applied to the PSAC East, if West Chester beats Kutztown a few weeks hence if things go according to what most think will happen. Yeah, I know Kutztown still has to down Ship before getting to the WCU game. Just asking and speculating. Anybody who can enlighten me? If so, thanks!!

The criteria was posted in another thread a couple weeks ago.Originally posted by BlueJay View Post
If the West results in a 3 way tie I believe SRU is a lock to be in the State Game. If SRU, IUP, and Cal all have 1 divisional loss Cal would be eliminated because they'd have 2 conference losses. Then the head-to-head game between IUP and SRU would favor SRU.
In the east, if there is a 3 way tie Kutztown and WCU would only have 1 loss overall and I think WCU would be the East representative based on a victory over Kutztown. As before, please correct me if I'm wrong. -

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!!Comment

Sort of random, but I"m impressed with the conference's completeness on that, going down the standings step by step if necessary to find a difference. That's a well-done directive.Comment

Conference strength of schedule...since crossover record is already in.....who beat better teams.Originally posted by WarriorVoice View Post
Bigger margin of victory.
Who has nicer uniforms.
What HC has a prettier wife.
Then ok a coin flip.Comment

Strength of schedule is a terrible metric in this instance. I don't even like it used in determining playoff teams. No school has control over how good or bad their opponents are. Margin of victory isn't much of a better one. You can pad that stat by beating up on the bad teams...Comment

crossover record shouldn't count then since everyone plays 3 different teams.Originally posted by WarriorVoice View Post
Cal losing to Kutztown will keep them out of the state game if they beat SRULast edited by EdinboroFB; 10-22-2019, 10:38 AM.Comment

How many times has a coin flip ever been used?! The first 3 procedures use wins and losses, which are the best metrics to use. Let's all agree to research our own school's history, and we can look at facts, not hypotheticals...Deal?Comment

It's possible for the conference directives to both be complete and for a coin flip to not be ideal. Doesn't hurt to discuss hypotheticals.Comment
