I think SOS is over rated

There's really nothing to discuss- we always get *****ed with the SOSing. It's BS to see the Colts have yet another year of opponents under .500 and the same goes for Jacksonville while the Chiefs are persistently getting *****ed year in and year out...

Broncos schedule is even tougher. They have an easier SOS according to the formula because they're playing against the Chiefs 10-6 record, and you're playing against their 13-3.

Pats are sitting pretty this year. If we don't get a #1 or 2 seed, there's definitely nobody to blame except ourselves.

Is this accurate? How can we have a harder schedule than the Broncos? We are against the same teams except two, and the Donks should have the better teams for those two games. Am I missing something?

I kinda like the, "it's not who you play but when you play them." SOS can't predict injuries

A big part of that is the strength of their division (pathetic AFC South) versus the strength of yours.

They have 4 gimme games versus the Titans and Texans.

Guess that explains it. Thanks.

You're correct, but they have 2 games against the 10-6 Chiefs, while you have 2 against the 13-3 Broncos...

Noone is ****ing us. It's the way SOS works.

People put way too much stock in strength of schedule. If you are good and get hot at the right time, you should beat anyone put in front of you. Look at what the Steelers have done. 1, 2, and 3 seeds all on the road. It's time to stop making excuses and winning some damn football games!

I understand it's because we are in the AFC West and the West is traditionally a very strong division, so therefore as long as our division remains highly competetive, our SOS will always be difficult, but Denver and San Diego are playing the same NFC division as we are- Denver went to the AFC championship game, therefore- their SOS should be more difficult than ours. We didn't make the playoffs, therefore we should be playing the non-playoff teams in the NFC division while Denver takes on that NFC division winner. So, why isn't Denver's schedule more difficult than ours?

SOS, is crap before the season starts. I mean look at how many teams that were supposed to be great this year and sucked balls or vise versa.

SOS is as useful as the BCS

58-4ever · 01-25-2006, 10:04 AM

and this is only the real strength of schedule if each team ends with the exact same record as last year. So this is pretty much a pointless thread, just like strength of schedule is pointless.

There have been three posts on this already. Why don't you try reading the thread.
