Conference Rankings Question

[MZBKA]

I'm curious as to how the winner of the Legends division would be determined if there were a three-way tie, and each of the three teams had a 1-1 record against the other two.

For example, it's possible that, at the end of the season, Minnesota, MSU and Michigan could all have 9-3 records, with Michigan having beaten Minnesota, Minnesota having beaten MSU, and MSU having beaten Michigan.

Does anybody know who would win the division in this case?

I am guessing the team that is ranked higher in the BCS standings will advance to the Big Ten title game

If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1.The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other
2.The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division
3.The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, and 6)
4.The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
5.The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big Ten regular season conference play shall be the representative in the Big Ten Championship Game, unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of each other in the BCS poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big Ten Championship
6.The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative
7.The representative will be chosen by random draw.
