Note that the ECAC and NFL multi-team tiebreakers do differ in one way, which is best illustrated by an example.  Suppose A, B, C, and D are all tied for fourth and in the first tie-breaker, A and B are ahead of C and D, but even with each other. The ECAC tiebreaker system then breaks the A and B tie with the two-team tie-breaker to assign fourth and fifth place, and then has a go at C and D, who are tied for sixth.  The NFL would use the two-team tie-breaker to decide who is in fourth place, A or B, then (assuming A wins that tiebreaker) throw B back into a three-way tie for fifth with C and D and apply the three-team tie-breaker there.
