    How would the tie breaker work?

    If GU, SMU, and San Diego all ended the league 12-2 with each losing to the other once, then how does the seeding for the WCC tourney get determined?

    Obviously the 1-2 seeds get a big advantage, in that they get a bye to the semi's, but the 1 seed more so because it would not have to play 2 or 3 until the finals.

    They seed them by who they lost to (top of standings to bottom). I'm assuming that in your scenario, they've all split with each other. In that case, if I'm not mistaken, the WCC still uses a coin flip. Someone may want to correct me.
    But we don't play nobody.

      This is the tie-breaker that has been used by the conference in the past. I'm trying to verify that it would be used again this year:

      First tiebreaker: head to head; second tiebreaker: head to head vs. rest of league, in descending order; third tiebreaker, RPI. If three teams have identical records, the same method is used to break out one team; the method will then be re-used to decide seeding order between the remaining two teams.
