quote:Absolutely, if the two teams involved have the same record.
Winning the game shouldn't be the only thing that matters, but it should absolutely matter more than any other measurement.
Otherwise they're saying that head-to-head doesn't matter, but the champion is going to be determined by head-to-head (playoff).

Much like in the NCAA basketball committee rankings. Te committee looks at the overall body of work.
They look at good wins and bad losses. Team with bad losses are ranked lower when win/loss records are equal.

It does matter, but it's not the overriding factor in this scenario. Had LSU beaten Ole Miss 42-7, and not got molested by Auburn, they would be ranked higher because of the dominating head to head win.
