If we need a tiebreaker (i.e. if two or more contestants are tied, those contestants will bet the line of the National Championship Game. Each remaining contestant will also submit the following, which we will use, in order, for tiebreakers:
1. Did you pick the winner against the spread?
2. Total points scored in game (both teams)
3. Total points scored in game by winning team
4. Total points scored in fourth quarter (both teams)
Whether you're "under" or "over" the number doesn't matter. It's just whoever is closest.
