If you're going where I think you're wanting to go, see if this helps.
I'm assuming you're thinking somewhere along the lines of an 0-16 team weakening your SOS.
Obviously, they are going to, as they should. You played the weakest team in the league.
Here's what it does to SOS:
There are 256 games in a NFL season.
The difference between playing an 0-16 team and others, assuming all other opponents were .500 for convenience sake:
0-16: SOS = .468
Replace that 0-16 team with a 2-14 team:
2-14: SOS = .476
4-12: SOS = .484
Not the significant difference you might expect.
