[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1175417, member: 3372"] At the end of the year, tiebreakers almost always come into play in determining B1G tourney seeding. By the last day of games, it's clear what scenarios are in play. However, this early in the year there are 2^126 possible season outcomes left, which is an astronomical number (actually beyond any number you'd count in the universe). Despite that, it appears tiebreakers have up to about a 2% impact on how the seeding goes. Most clear is that Purdue is helped at the expense of MSU - they play only once, in West Lafayette.
