If we win sat, are we co-champs? In that case do we get the bid on head to head?

If we win, we win the Patriot League. We may be co-champs.
How and why? Glad you asked!
If Georgetown wins, the worst they can finish in conference is 4-1. A maximum of only one other team would have had one loss - Lehigh. In that case, Georgetown wins via head-to-head. To me, finishing tied for the record with one other team and beating them qualifies as being champions, not co-champs.
However, if you want to get technical, Georgetown can also finish with the best conference record alone. To do this, Lehigh has to lose to both Georgetown and Lafayette next week.
Hope this helps!

tie-breaking procedure: www.patriotleague.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081308aad.htmlinteresting: games against Fordham don't count...until the third tie-breaker, that is. even though the bid is the really important thing, and whoever wins it will be considered the champ by fans, would still be interested to know if the Patriot League recognizes co-champs or uses the tiebreakers to also determine one "champion"...? EDIT: looks like we would be "co-champs" if we end up with the same record... www.patriotleague.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081308aad.html"Lehigh hosts Georgetown on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. when the Mountain Hawks will play for their second straight outright Patriot League title and the Hoyas go for at least a share of the crown for the first time." |

yeah we're technically co-champs, but with the Auto bid and the head to head win everyone will consider us the true champs. plus remember Lehigh has a game after us against their rival Lafayette, so they could lose after we play as well.
