Head to head wins matter (see OM > Bama last week)
That's my point. You can't put OM ahead of Bama and not put Baylor ahead of TCU, or Arizona ahead of Oregon.

Either head-to-head matters - where the two teams involved have the same record - or it doesn't.

And if it doesn't, which was clearly the case in Baylor-TCU and Arizona-Oregon, then that makes a head-to-head playoff pointless.

Did head to head matter in the BCS?

These are the best examples I can provide as to why the committee is getting it wrong right now.

Why do TCU and Oregon deserve to be in the playoff picture with 1 loss while the teams that beat them, who also have one loss and are in the same conference, are both technically out of it right now? The committee is pretty much saying that those games didn't matter, which is completely unfair to Baylor and Arizona. Winning the game shouldn't be the only thing that matters, but it should absolutely matter more than any other measurement.

God, you are dumb, dude. Baylor had 5 bye weeks to start the season. They've played two actual teams, and got owned by WVU. Ole Miss suffered two last-minute heartbreakers. LSU got FUBARed twice, one at home. Arizona has one quality win. Lost a home game to an unranked team. Do you pay attention to anything?
