Japan Coug Intervention Needed
No, we qualify for the CCG as the #2 team. We don’t win first place, because we
do lose the 3-way tiebreaker (assuming all 3 finish 11-1). But it then reverts to a 2-way tiebreaker to determine 2nd place, per the rules. We should own the 2-way tiebreaker against both teams:

vs KSU because we beat them head-to-head

vs ISU because we didn’t play head-to-head, so the next tiebreaker is record vs the best common opponent(s), which is KSU. In this scenario, ISU loses to KSU, while we beat them.

(Some people are saying that this second tiebreaker applies to record vs the second-best common opponent, rather than the best common opponent, which makes little sense and is clearly not the spirit or intent of the rule. This is what is causing the confusion).
