The last game impacted a bunch of other placements and how much tiebreaking would need to be done in the teams at 5-5 but we finally figured it out. Below are the final standings.
For the tiebreakers, We used head to head where applicable (thus Maryland taking first over my Ducks ) Where head to head didn't apply, We used best home record.
For the 6 teams tied at 5-5, We put them all into a separate table showing only head to head games played among those 6 teams and sorted them by win % since some played only two games against those teams while others played up to 6 in that group. UNLV was the only one undefeated within that group, so they took 7th, Duke went 3-3 in that group , but was the only other team to win 3 games within that group so they were in 8th. 9th went to Illinois with the next highest number of wins (2). Northern Illinois and South Carolina had one win and one loss each, but NIU had a better home record moving them into 10th and SC into 11th. Syracuse was 1-2 and landed in 12th and Princeton 0-2 in that grouping in 13th.
The only remaining tie was 16-18th place. Those three teams only shared one game (Grand Valley St. over Northwestern) for which We put Grand Valley in 16th, followed by TCU in 17th and Northwestern in 18th (decided by coin flip)
