- Head-to-head among the tied teams (their combined records if three or more are tied).
- How the tied teams did against the highest-seeded teams.
- Point differential in the region games among the tied teams, capped at 12 a game. A forfeit counts the full 12.
- Point differential in region games against the highest-seeded teams.
- Fewest points allowed in all region games (no cap).
- A coin flip.
Because of the 12-point cap, a 56–0 win counts the same as 12–0. When a tie turns on margin, this page says "depends on the margin" rather than guess.
