#2: Ottawa Arizona and Texas Wesleyan
The Sooner Athletic Conference saw something similar to the KCAC ending in a three way tie. Arizona Christian won the tiebreaker between them and Ottawa to send themselves to the NAIA Playoffs. As you can see in the tweet below this is how the Sooner determined Arizona Christian as the team to go.
Here is what we were told about the Sooner Athletic Conference Tie Breaker.

Great summary Coach Cooper. I’ve never seen in any sport where a head to head matchup isn’t the first tie breaker. The Bethel Threshers for the last two years are being passed over when they have a head to head win over Southwestern. Last year they won a razor close game in triple overtime, this year they won convincingly. Someone should have to explain how SW gets the nod. Bethel deserves an answer.
