How would your rate their strength of schedule? I only see maybe 4 or 5 teams from last year's playoffs coming up.

Strength of schedule is meaningless in the NFL. Dumb thread.

Strength of schedule is actually pretty important.

I dunno, maybe it's different now with parity going down, but usually it seems like the real strength of schedule doesn't really follow the preseason forecast.

Mini Ditka, I don't know ye well. Are you in the Elmhurst Steve family because that's the vibe I'm starting to get.

Well, yeah, doing it purely by prior season's W-L doesn't tell you much. But Football Outsiders weights SOS pretty heavily in all their algorithms, and they tend to be pretty reliable.
