Template talk:2015 Big Ten Conference football standings

Sorting
I don't think there is any principled reason to sort tied teams by poll ranking. It raises endless questions about which poll to use and whatnot. I think it should be sorted by: 1. league record 2. overall record 3. alphabetize. For actual ties that get broken under the rules (i.e., for division representative in the league title game), I would argue for an exception in deference to an actual broken tie.

 * Making the order contingent on the rankings means that the order has to be rearranged on Sunday when the new poll results come out, even if you can agree on which poll to use. I do not think that is a good practice. MrArticleOne (talk) 19:23, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
