I Don't Like The NCAA XC Tiebreaker Rule


To be honest, I feel a tie should stay a tie.  But if a tie absolutely has to be broken, the current rule leaves me a little underwhelmed.
Ties in team scoring shall be broken by comparing in order the place finish
of each of the five scoring members of the tied teams. The team with the
majority of winning comparisons shall be awarded the higher place.
Which method of breaking ties would you prefer?
  1. The current comparison of runners one through five. 
  2. 6th place finisher.
  3. Let it remain a tie.
  4. Other.
Here, the usual suspects hash it out on LetsRun.com
