Football Tiebreaker Information
a. If a tie exists, the higher seed will go to the team that won the most head-to-head League contest(s) played against the other team(s) involved in the tie.

b. If a tie still exists, a comparison of League records will be made between the tied institutions starting at the highest seed and continuing through the lowest seed, if necessary.

c. If a tie still exists, a comparison of records against common out-of-league opponents will be made.

d. If a tie still exists, a comparison of rank according to the FCS Committee Metric will be made.

e. If a tie still exists, a committee consisting of the athletics directors of each of the institutions not involved in the tie will make a final decision. The committee should consider various factors, including, but not limited to, the following examples. Note: the criteria are listed in no particular order:
1. Strength of schedule
2. Overall record
3. Computer rankings
4. Performance during the second half of the season
The committee will meet immediately following the release of the FCS Committee Metric should a tie still exist. A majority vote of the committee is required to determine the champion.

Note: In the case of a multiple-team tiebreaker (more than two teams), the process will revert to the beginning of the tiebreaker formula once the tie has been reduced to two teams.
