  • The champion of the conference regular season will receive the SAA Automatic Qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. 
  • The conference champion in football shall be determined by a single round-robin. The team with the best winning percentage against conference teams will be declared the conference champion. 
  • In the case of two or more teams tying for the conference championship, each team will be declared a co-champion and receive a trophy. To determine the representative to the NCAA postseason competition and the recipient of the conference’s automatic bid, the following criteria will be used as a tie-breaker: 

1. Two teams – head-to-head results from the conference game played.

2. Three teams - Using the following point system:

        - Each team will be awarded two points for each victory against another conference co-champion.

        - Each team is awarded one point for each victory over other conference teams not sharing the championship.

3. If both parts of Section 2 are applied and two teams are still tied, the formula will revert to Section 1.

4. If Sections 1 and 2 cannot break the tie and there are still three teams tied, then the NCAA’s Division III NPI rankings will break any remaining ties.
