Don't get me to lyin'

Dear Mustang fans,
Snyder defeated Wylie tonight. By now, that's old news to you.
Here are the up-to-date standings:
District 4 - 3A Conference Standings
2004-2005 Season
Conference Overall
Team W-L Win % W-L Win %
SNYDER 3-1 0.750 8-2 0.800
SWEETWATER 2-1 0.667 7-2 0.778
WYLIE 2-1 0.667 6-3 0.667
MERKEL 1-2 0.333 4-5 0.444
CLYDE 0-3 0.000 3-6 0
Snyder is done for the regular season and is 3-1 in the district.
Next Friday, Wylie plays Clyde, and Merkel plays Sweetwater in the final regular season. Just for a moment, let's make a big assumption. Let's assume Wylie and Sweetwater win. That means all three teams, Snyder, Sweetwater, and Wylie end the regular season with identical records.
What happens then??????
Don't get me to lyin'.
I was hoping to find out on the GoFridayNight.com webcast.
I didn't.
I thought if my good buddy, Danny Reagan, the GoFridayNight on-line editor and technical guru, had enough time to think about it, he would surely know the answer as to what formula District 4-3A uses to determine a champion. He didn't. Neither did the bubbley George Levesque, the Friday Night Webcast movie star, but alas no, he didn't know either.
What I did learn from the very good webcast is that each district has their own policies and ways to determine a district champion.
I don't know how our district would determine a champion...but my guess would be (and this is just a guess) points scored vs. points allowed.
But let's not jump the gun here. Give Snyder some credit first.
Snyder played both Sweetwater and Wylie on the road. Wylie played both Sweetwater and Snyder within the friendly confines of home. Sweetwater played Snyder at home and traveled to Wylie in their only district loss. Give Snyder some credit for completing their regular season schedule (they have an open date next week) and in the district lead.
Sweetwater and Wylie both have one more game...nothing should be taken for granted for either team. This is an upset week waiting to happen for both teams...
See how I am making myself crazy thinking about all the possibilaties?
Bottom line is I don't know how the district does tie-breakers.
And don't get me to lyin'.
