If I remember correctly, the NCAA, or at least the OVC, uses wins against common opponents as the second tie breaker if two teams have identical records without playing each other. I do know in Metro, the middle schools and 9th grades have a simple tie breaker solution to this and it has been done several times. If two teams from the same conference have identical records without playing each other, they have a "tie breaker overtime" game on the Monday following the regular season. Put the ball on the 10 yd. line and play "overtime". The winner goes on and the loser goes home.
The only problem with it is, i'm sure the TSSAA won't go along with it, or any other ideas, and maybe rightfully so. Has this situation ever came up before now anywhere in the state? :confused:
