Where did the Packers rank?

It would be really interesting to see how the strength of schedule rankings last year change from before the season to after the season.

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you agree with this?

The Packers would have a certain strength of schedule for (the start of) or entire 2014 season schedule. So we might determine that and compare it with the SOS for the start of the 2015 schedule.

Depended on the balance of games the SOS ranking would vary until seasons end. Some NFL teams would have a tougher schedule before mid season than after. I think of the teams success based on the full 16 regular games schedule to seed it in the playoffs and thus better predict success.

So you're saying we should wait until the season is over and then decide if a team was a success? That's brilliant!

All it takes is a couple of stinkers in your division and your SOS is shot. Dallas had NYG and WASH in their division that is 4 games against awful teams.

I think that would be interesting also.

Packer strength of schedule for 2014 was .504. Packers actual strength of schedule for 2014 after games played was 122-133-1 or roughly .4785

Frick no ! This thread is merely ranking the NFL teams SOS.

The SOS is merely a predictor of success. It's nothing written in stone.
