Collins was the Command Module Pilot. The CMP was the Command/Service Module systems expert, the one guy who could run the whole thing. The CMP was second in command, and sat in the center couch where he could watch and operate the entire panel. The CMP kept the lights on in orbit while the Commander and Lunar Module Pilot (CDR and LMP) took the Lunar Module to the lunar surface.

The same applies to the CMP on Apollos 9-17. The same position existed for the other missions, although the duties weren't quite the same.
