Yes. But that’s stupid.
So my team could go unbeaten but because I beat Michigan state who was 3-6 and someone else beat northwestern who was 4-5…they go?
The conference will not be decided on the field.

It's the best of a less than ideal situation and at least minimizes the subjectivity of it.
It's going to be fraught with some randomness, no doubt.
Right off the bat, one of the teams could have had 5 Home Conference games and the other just 4 if the Big 10 adapts the same Tiebreakers. SEC should be an even 4-4 split, except for Texas-Oklahoma & Georgi-Florida who I presume are still playing their rivalry games at a neutral site.
