Seven teams still have a shot to earn a piece of the MIAC football title, and it’s mathematically possible that six teams could tie for first with 5-3 records. Here’s a look at the remaining games:

Carleton (4-2, 6-2): at Concordia, St. John’s
Concordia (4-2, 5-3): Carleton, at Gustavus
Gustavus (4-2, 6-2): at St. Olaf, Concordia
St. John’s (4-2, 6-2): Augsburg, at Carleton
St. Thomas (4-3, 5-3): Bethel (this week)
Augsburg (3-3, 5-3): at St. John’s, Bethel (at Metrodome)
Bethel (3-3, 4-4): at St. Thomas, Augsburg (at Metrodome)

Tiebreaking rules
Step 1:
If multiple teams tie, the first tiebreaker is head-to-head games involving those teams (six-way tie would result in mini-standings based on five games).
Step 2: If a tie still exists, the team — singular — that has been to the playoffs most recently would be eliminated.
 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until only two teams are left. The winner of the head-to-head game advances.
