Superbowl Shuffle

Our league is 12 teams with 4 divisions. Each division winner gets a spot along with the top two non-division winners for a total of 6 playoff spots.
Our rules say that tiebreakers for wild card positions are decided by record, then head to head matchups, then points scored on the season, then a flip of the coin if necessary.
If more than two teams end up with the same 8-5 record, how does the league handle the head to head part of the tiebreaker? My commmissioner wants to bypass head to head and use total points. Disclaimer that commish is not one of the teams involved (he is out of contention at 4-8) and neither is mine (already won my division at 8-4).
We could have 3 teams with the same record. Team A lost to both Team B and Team C. Team B and Team C went 1-1 against each other. Team C has the fewest total points. Who goes to the playoffs? Team B gets in either way. Team C is out if total points is the tiebreaker even though they beat Team A straight up.
How does your league break ties, specifically using head to head matchups?
