Group 17
Week 10
Kansas St.- 72, Richmond- 69
Vanderbilt- 63, Florida A&M- 47
Bowling Green- 53, Yale- 49
To be fair, I have to use the tiebreaker set up that I used in all the groups. With a 3 team tie, the first tiebreaker becomes head to head. The head to head matchup between the 3 teams didn't settle anything as all 3 teams went 2-2 in their games against the other. Now we go to point differential which sees Bowling Green eliminated, and since we know that the head to head tiebreaker won't solve a 2 team tie, we go to points differential again. So here are the Final Standings for Group 17:
#1 Richmond 7-3 (+84)
#2 Kansas St. 6-4 (+77)
#3 Vanderbilt 6-4 (+2)
#4 Bowling Green 6-4 (-17)
#5 Yale 5-5 (+20)
#6 Florida A&M 0-10 (-166)
Richmond wins the group with a 7-3 record, which means they will be a fairly low seed out of the group winners, probably a seed low 40s, early 50s. Kansas St. won all 5 of their games in the second half of group play to finish second. They don't care what their seed is, they are just happy to be advancing after that horrendous 1-4 start. Vanderbilt takes third and is in good wildcard position with that 6-4 record, although they'd like their point differential to be a little higher. That means that we say goodbye to Nebraska, who is officially eliminated. Tough luck for Bowling Green, who might be the best fourth place team we've seen, and to Yale, who started 4-1, but faded late.
