if UNLV wins at SDSU on Sat. (and BYU, Utah, and NM also win on Sat.). That would mean UNLV and SDSU are tied in the standings. The quote below is from Wrubell's blog this morning:
So if the UNLV beating SDSU scenario happens, Utah gets the #1 seed with their higher RPI correct?

Simply put: if BYU ties with either Utah or New Mexico or both, BYU will win any tiebreaker if SDSU finishes ahead of UNLV (thanks to BYU's sweep of the Aztecs). If SDSU and UNLV finish tied, BYU being swept by UNLV will not matter, since the tied teams (BYU and/or Utah and/or New Mexico) will have been 2-2 against SDSU and UNLV combined. When comparing tied teams to tied teams lower in the standings, the lower tied teams are considered as one position. If UNLV finishes ahead of SDSU, BYU would lose a tiebreak for being swept by the Rebels.
In the case of a tie between UNLV/SDSU and ties between UYU/Utah/UNM, and if the higher tied teams have identical records against the remaining league teams below UNLV and SDSU (a distinct possibility), then NCAA RPI is the next tiebreaker. And in all cases where head-to-head and comparisons do not break a tie, NCAA RPI is the deciding factor.
