Big 12 announces tiebreaking policies for the conference's 2024 regular season

Tiebreakers will come into effect to determine which teams reach the Big 12 Championship game if teams finish with the same conference record through nine games.

The Big 12 announced its tiebreaking policies for the conference's 2024 regular season on Friday.

Tiebreakers will be used to determine which teams advance to the Big 12 Championship if they finish with the same conference record through nine games.

The league also noted that previously scheduled nonconference games between two Big 12 schools will not count toward the conference record. This means that the Utah-Baylor game on Saturday and the Kansas State-Arizona matchup next week will not impact the league standings.

Here are the Big 12 football tiebreakers:

If two teams are tied by conference record, the following tiebreakers will be used in order to determine the higher-seeded team in the Big 12 football regular season:

A – The tied teams will be compared based on their head-to-head record during the season.

B – The tied teams will be compared based on win percentage against all common conference opponents.

C – The tied teams will be compared based on win percentage against the next highest-placed common opponent in the standings (based on the record in all games played within the Conference) proceeding through the standings.

D – The tied teams will be compared based on combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents.

E – The tied teams will be compared based on total number of wins in a 12-game season.

F – The representative will be chosen based on highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team rating score metric) following the last weekend of regular-season games.

G – The representative will be chosen by a coin toss.
