The rules have a pecking order, 1-7... one being the first. You go down the list until a rule breaks the tie. I'm actually not understanding why there's more than one rule for the two way though. each team in the division plays each other, if there's a two way tie in the end, the head-to-head determines the winner... how else could it go?
Enlighten us AllVol? You seem to know better about this sort of stuff than the rest of us.
The 231 page NCAA rules document does not allow for ties. Therefore, I see no realistic scenario by which 2 teams in the same division would not have a head-to-head result.
The only instance I can think of would be similar to 2001, when the Tennessee vs Florida game was rescheduled to later in the season. If for some reason the game were canceled instead of rescheduled, you could have the possibility of having 2 teams tied for a division lead, but not having a head-to-head matchup... thus moving on to tie-breaker # 2.
