I'm just trying my best to make sure I understand the playoff process...
Alright so head to head results can not be used to judge teams. Meaning if you beat your rival, yet they would be favored against you on a neutral field, that hypothetical game has to be taken into consideration and weighted at a greater level than the actual result.
If you lose your QB you will be left out of the playoff, however if you lose an entire coaching staff, you're safe and will not be penaltize.
If you don't play a team you're competing for a playoff spot with, but you share a common opponent against them, the team with the poorest result against said common opponent shall be ranked higher.
Did I miss anything
