I don't think the tiebreaker procedures are very ambiguous, but there is a
little bit of room for interpretation. I'm definitely open to hearing others' opinions.
Our problem in a three-way tie with ISU and KSU is that our head-to-head win over KSU does not help us much and our weak conference SOS hurts us. I think what usually happens in that situation is that KSU has the strongest conference SOS (tiebreaker d) and thus gets seeded 1 in the CCG before our h2h win over them is ever considered, and then it's down to BYU and ISU, and the tie there is always broken by tiebreakers b, c, or d. Conference SOS usually goes in ISU's favor, so if it gets that far, ISU usually wins the tiebreaker and BYU is out of the CCG.
Here are the tiebreaker procedures I've been referencing:
