I didn't say it doesn't matter. I said it's very small in the grand scheme when all the other facts are what they are in this case.

Yeah I think when two teams actually play each other over a long term that's a pretty damned good indicator. The only people arguing statistical crap are the ones getting smoked head to head.
So head to head is a great indicator, but the teams going the exact same distance in the postseason and the division coming down to the wire is bull****?

You actually hunk the head to head record is the best way to measure how good teams are relative to one another? Not, oh, everything else?
I read something almost as dumb last night, but my comment about it got deleted by that lame Astros mod.
