After discussing this with other owners, I want to clear up any confusion. Head-to-head should only apply to Divisional tiebreakers--because we play teams within our division twice. So a 2-0 record against the team you share a win/loss record with would send you into the playoffs. A 1-1 record against them would defer to the next tiebreaker (maybe total points, maybe conference wins).

A Wildcard tiebreaker would be determined either through conference wins or total points, not head-to-head.

Losing twice to a team you played twice in the same season (yet you make the playoffs over them due to total points) is the problem I see. It hasn't happened yet, but it probably will.
