We talked about it on the pod. It's head to head, then they look at results vs. the table in descending order. So assume the following:

Dickinson (W vs. Muhl) - 19
Washington (T vs. Getty) - 14
Muhlenberg (L vs. Dick) - 13
Gettysburg (T vs. Wash) - 13
Hopkins (T vs. Ursinus) - 13
Haveford (T vs. Swat) - 13
McDaniel (W vs. F&M) - 13

In this scenario, to break the 13pts tie, you would look at:
Results vs Dickinson.  They all lost.
Then look at results vs. #2 Washington.  Muhl tied, Getty tied, Hop lost, Haverford tied, McDaniel tied, so Hop would be odd team out.

This is why all the games matter this weekend, because whoever finishes 2nd is going to have a huge impact on how the tiebreaker plays out. And as I said, it's VERY possible that Haverford finishes 9-0-10 and is the odd man out in the tie breaker,

Haverford beat McDaniel so with a draw against Swat and head to head tiebreak over McDaniel they would advance to CC playoffs. Also Getty, Haverford, Hop and McDaniel all tied against Dickinson, so I think that makes Muhl the odd team out in the the 5 way tie scenario.

Both McDaniel and Muhlenberg beat Gettsyburg, so would Gettysburg be out? But Gettysburg beat Hopkins, so would Hopkins be out?

Haverford with a 9-0-9 record and an incredibly stingy defense. Philosophy of Coach Brenner seems to be: "We may not break you down or dominate the ball, but you will have an incredibly hard time scoring on us."

What is Haverford's next move? Can they survive Centennial playoffs and sneak an AQ by remaining unbeatable? Would love to hear the thoughts of regular centennial viewers on the Ford's chances.

Haverford plays a very effective low block and the whole team tackles well on the ball. Thomas Vanni is the only real threat up top. Hence, a lot of 0-0, 1-1 ties. Will be tough for them to make it through but anything can happen, especially this year.
