For anyone curious about the history of my tiebreaker website, here's a brief thread including Wayback Machine links.

Special thanks to the Horizon League for introducing a format so weird I had to re-code my bracket graphic generator. On the plus side, this new functionality means that conferences who have one round split across two days (MEAC, MAAC, Big Sky, etc) are now easier to read. (2/2)

2025-2026 basketball (MBB and WBB) is up and running. I haven't checked for any tiebreaker rule changes, but I have updated tournament bracket formats for each conference (or my best guess at it for conferences who haven't released them yet). (1/2)

I've made a correction to my Pac 12 tiebreaker, believe it or not. @TheEljefe1981 pointed out that the Nov 1 game between OSU and WSU was NOT technically a conference game. The Nov 29 game is the only Pac 12 conference game. This has been fixed.

There was an issue where in some cases people going to https://t.co/DpxeWOzOfO were getting a default placeholder page instead of the actual website. I think this is now fixed, but let me know if there are any issues accessing the site.

ACC document is here: https://t.co/owsArbPaVG Thanks to beebrave on bluesky for bringing this up.

...on exactly what happens here, but I think it's more likely that, once a team is dropped out of the tie, they are permanently dropped out. So if A, B, and C are determined to be above D, then D is permanently #4. (2/)

I've made a small change to the ACC logic: If teams A, B, C, and D are all tied, my old logic had the tiebreaker running until the top team was determined, and then the tiebreaker would restart for all remaining teams. The ACC tiebreaker document is not clear ... (1/)

The site was/is down again, but this time I think I got the DNS working properly and it's running off the new server. Might take a little time to propagate through various DNS servers.

I did mess around with DNS stuff that might take time to propagate, so it might take a little time if it's still offline for you.

OK, that failed. I'll try again some other time, but it's back online now.

There's a brief outage at https://t.co/DpxeWOAm5m while I try to move some stuff to a new server...

My primary server crashed this morning even with the tiebreaker logic offloaded, so now I've offloaded most of the logic that creates the schedule page as well. I'm hoping this fixes things, but let me know if there's any weirdness (or another server crash).

Small fix: Future games with TBD times were showing up under the day before the actual game date -- the time became pre-midnight when UTC was converted to an American time zone. This did not affect anything other than display dates. Thanks to @QuixoteAg for pointing it out.

I've migrated the actual tiebreaker logic code for https://t.co/DpxeWOAm5m to a scalable cloud platform, which will hopefully mitigate the crashes when things get busy (which they will in about 12 days based on past patterns). Let me know if anyone notices any weirdness.

So close, AI. So close.

An emailer pointed out a game that was complete but not showing up as complete on my website. This turned out to be a bug affecting OT games. This is now fixed.

My 2025 NCAA football tiebreaker is up and running. I haven't looked at any tiebreaker changes (and if there are any, they are probably not public yet) but the schedules/teams are up-to-date.

I just discovered @CycloneWBB was #1 in 24-25 DI WBB in assists per FGM (using @Stathead). ISU assisted on 70.39% of made FG, just ahead of Kansas State's 70.32%.

And only twice in that span (excluding 2020) did the #1 pick not reach 18 career WAR: 2003 (LaToya Thomas; 9.4 WAR) and 2007 (Lindsey Harding; 14.3 WAR). I'm excluding 2020 because, although Sabrina Ionescu only has 16.4 career WAR, she is far from finished.

Only 3 times in those 21 drafts was the #1 overall pick not the best or second-best (in career WAR) of the top 10 picks. Those three drafts were 2003 (4th), 2014 (5th), and 2017 (3rd).
