If the Chiefs don't win the division, we had the toughest schedule in the league and whoever does win the divsion will have the easiest.

If we do win the division, no one will care about this question.

Looking at this year's schedule and trying to predict how tough it will be using last year's winning percentages is useless. This is the Parity Age.

Here's the deal about these "schedule projections"... take KC for example. The strength of schedule reflects the 2004 performances and does not reflect the offseason additions (or subtractions).

So, any team with KC on their schedule is getting dinged in the strength rating. Is it an accurate view into how tough KC will be in 2005? No.

Does the Strength of Schedule mean anything ... no.
