Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Tiebreakers were required to determine the first and second seeds and the sixth and seventh seeds for the tournament. Michigan State and Nebraska tied for first place with 7–1–2 records during regular season conference play. The teams did not play during the regular season and both had seven wins in conference games so the third tiebreaker of best record versus mutually played conference teams was used. Michigan State earned the first seed and Nebraska earned the second seed. Rutgers and Ohio State tied for sixth as both finished with 5–4–1 conference records. Rutgers earned the sixth seed by virtue of their 1–0 win over Ohio State on October 19. [6] [7]
