Depends on the kind of tie.
If there was no head-to-head game, then right now the 2nd tiebreaker is division record. That's probably not going to be useful in the future, so I suspect they'll eliminate the "division-record" ones (the 3rd tiebreaker is record against next-highest team in the division) and go to what is currently the 4th tiebreaker, which is record in common conference games. If that's equal then the next tiebreaker is total record in 12 games (so a 10-2 team gets in over a 9-3 team if they're both 7-2 in conference).

The three-way tiebreaker is the same (head to head, division record, record against next team in division, record in common conference games), but once one team is eliminated, it starts over with the 2-way tiebreakers.

Again, I suspect they'll change the division tiebreakers to conference tiebreakers. So if you're tied for 2nd the tiebreakers will be as follows:

1- Head to head (if it happened)
2- Record against #1 team.
3- Record against #3-12 teams, in order.
4- Total wins.
5- Highest ranking in sportsource analytics

They may replace #3 with record in common conference games, instead of record against individual teams, which makes some sense, but as the rules are written right now this is the tiebreaker I expect.
