Research Idea
If I had a little more time or was a little smarter, I'd do research project based on these preseason strength-of-schedule lists. I'd love to see how last offseason's list like this compared to reality. Whether the strength of schedule on paper really had much to do with how hard it was in reality. There are a couple possible methods, but the quickest would just be using winning percentage. I suspect how hard a schedule looks in April doesn't mean much.

Injuries during the course of a year factor too much into it to make an accurate adjustment.
I mean look at the Rams and how badly they folded fantasy wise in comparison to where they should have been.

So you had Steven Jackson too, huh?

Yea, and I had the option of taking Brady or Bulger. The guy infront of me took Bulger. So that made up for Jackson :P

Like an idiot I actually picked Bulger while Brady was still on the board. Doh! Things will change this year but Pitt is looking at a killer schedule regardless. Apologies to Pitt fans but I see them going 8-8.
