I don't think it was a factor at all.
You still have to win in the playoffs, and that is the deciding factor when you win the Super Bowl.
The other factors were that they had a great QB, RB, and wide receivers that year. Along with great coaching, and a capable defense.
They had to beat the Vikings, Bucs, and Titans. Three teams that year that were no walks in the park. I don't think their last place schedule had really anything to do with their Super Bowl run. You don't pick the teams you play on Sunday. You just line em up and the better team will come out on top.
