B1G 2023 Divisional Races

Here are the B1G rules for the Divisional Tiebreakers:

For 2 teams, it’s head-to-head result.

In the Big Ten, a three-team tiebreaker can be determined by as many as six steps, according to conference rules:

The records of the 3 teams are compared based on winning percentage in games between the tied teams.
The records of the 3 teams are compared based on winning percentage within the division.
The records of the 3 teams are compared against the next highest-place teams in the division in order of finish.
The records of the 3 teams are compared based on winning percentage against all common conference opponents.
The records of the 3 teams are compared based on the best cumulative conference winning % of non-divisional opponents.
The records of the 3 teams are compared against the highest placed non-divisional teams.

If tOSU, tCun, and Penn State all have only 1 loss to each other, the conference records of the cross-divisional opponents comes into play.

Penn St has Illinois, Iowa, and NW’ern; tCun has Neb, Minn, and Purdue; tOSU has Wisc, Minn, and Purdue.

Penn State’s 3 teams have 8 wins so far, get 2 more with Ill-Ia & Ill-NW, plus chances for more with Ill-Ind, Ia-Rutg, Ia-Neb, NW-Wisc, & NW-Purd.

tCun’s teams have 7 wins so far, get 1 more with Minn-Purd, & chances for more with Neb-Md, Neb-Wisc, Neb-Ia, Minn-Wisc, Purd-NW, & Purd-Ind.

tOSU’s teams have 7 wins so far, get 2 more with Minn-Purd and Minn-Wisc, & chances for more with Purd-NW, Purd-Ind, Wisc-NW, and Wisc-Neb.

Buckeye chances improve with Wiscy over NW, Wiscy over Neb, and Wiscy over Minny, plus Purdue over NW.

The Neb-Iowa game could be very impactful for tCun and Penn St.

Ohio State vs. #15 Texas A&M, Nov 10, 2023, 7PM EST, Peacock

Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Texas A&M Aggies: Preview, How to Watch​

The Ohio State Buckeyes host the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies on Friday in a marquee non-conference matchup.

Ohio State Buckeyes

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES
The Ohio State Buckeyes will play one of their toughest non-conference games of the season on Friday night when they host the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies at Value City Arena.
Ohio State (1-0) is coming off a 79-73 win over Oakland on Monday in the season opener. The Buckeyes took the lead midway through the second half and didn't look back despite things being tight throughout. Neither team led by more than seven for the entire game.

Three players scored 17 points for the Buckeyes in the win. Bruce Thornton, Roddy Gayle Jr. and Zed Key will all be looking for similar performances against a Texas A&M (1-0) team that's coming off a route of Texas A&M-Commerce on Monday in a 78-46 win.
Despite getting bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round last season, the Aggies finished 25-10 and arguably one of the worst-seeded teams in the tournament at No. 7. A&M made its second straight SEC title game before losing to Alabama.


The Aggies return a talented core that has proven to be productive since the end of their impressive run to the SEC Championship at the end of the 2021-22 season.
A key matchup to watch will be Ohio State's starting backcourt of Gayle Jr. and Thornton against Aggies star Wade Taylor IV and guards Tyrece Radford and Hayden Hefner. Taylor (16 points, six assists) and Hefner (19 points) were A&M's two leading scorers in Monday's win, and could be getting a bounce-back game from Radford, who was the team's second-leading scorer last season,
