Average Opponent Ranks (Strength of Schedule) Dec 6, 2017 0:58:37 GMT -6

So here's how this one goes. The lower the number in any category, the better your average opponents were in that category. AKA the average rank of your opponents in that category. Overall both charts are ranked by the very last category which is an average of all the other categories combined. Is sorta a new twist on the strength of schedule. A more accurate strength of schedule if you will. Speaking of strength of schedule, I've included that as well for comparison. They're not the same.

Let's put this myth on SOS to rest. I was having this discussion on a Ram's Board. And posted this showing that basing SOS purel off of W/L records doesn't mean a thing. Both teams opponents have the same SOS but one team played 7 winning teams while the other played 2. It's not who you play, it's when you play them. Anyone think the Packer/Tampa game would have gone into overtime if Rodgers had been playing?

Team 1          Team 2

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

But were they winning teams before they played them, when they played them, or after they played them?

There's a ringing in my ear and I think it's the Call of the Wild

itinerant, noun; a person who works and wanders.

Now do this for each of the last 50 years and tell us how accurately this predicts super bowl winners. *ishhitthefan*

You want a better predictor? Look at the teams that have offense's and Defense's in the top 5 for scoring. Those teams usually end up in the Super Bowl.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

You completely missed the point of my post and research then lol. I agree with that, which is why I used a teams offensive/defensive ranks to determine the SOS. Points and yards, although still not perfect, is a much better indicator of strength than wins/losses. A team that's capable of gaining 450 yards per game, tends to reach that total nearly every week. A team that has a good offense but a bad defense tends to be an average team, a team with a good offense and a good defense is going to be 10-2, like the Vikings. A good sign of strength. You're not going to see a 10-2 team if they have a bad offense and a bad defense.

I merely included the SOS (wins/losses) data as a comparison to my new and improved yards based SOS. My system includes 8 diverse data points, whereas the old system only has 2 data points which are related to each other. If a team is weak across all 8 data points, then you can safely put money on that team being awful. Wouldn't you agree? There are no fluke 0-12 or 12-0 teams to skew the results of this system. It's more about consistency.

Perhaps my chart is misunderstood lol? It's by no means a tool with predictive capabilities, nor does it determine the odds for anything. Except for maybe the remaining schedule section. It's merely telling you who has had an easy or difficult schedule up to this point. If a team plays the easiest schedule (according to my system) and they win the Super Bowl, what would that tell you? It tells me nothing. It just says they had an easy route to the Super Bowl. The best you could do is rank each Super Bowl winner in terms of who had the easier path. I did this simply because I wanted to see just how easy the Eagles schedule has been and I didn't want to use the flawed regular SOS of schedule method, I wanted something a little more accurate.

Back on VJ I think it was, I had a chart that showed the average rankings of Super Bowl teams. Although I think that one was more about the "does defenses win championships" myth.

But ok, challenge accepted, I'll do every single team since the merger (1970). I have the data, it's just a matter of putting it all together and getting it formatted into a nice pretty post. I'll do what I did above but for every season, I planned to do it anyway lol. Then I'll post the rank of only the Super Bowl teams (since Super Bowl 5) because posting 1300 lines of data would be a bit much even with spoilers. But I can already tell you it's not going to include a smoking gun, it's only going to tell you which teams had the more difficult schedule.

Incidentally, the reason why the wins/losses strength of schedule is flawed, is because it penalizes a team with a good record. For example, lets compare the Vikings SOS to the Browns.

CLE  77-67
MIN  72-72

Well hey, it looks like the Browns have had a more difficult schedule doesn't it? Well the Vikings are 10-2, that means they've contributed 10 losses to their opponents, while the charitable Browns have contributed 12 victories to theirs. So SOS should actually exclude a teams own W/L record. So SOS should look like this.

MIN 70-62
CLE 65-67

Now that looks a whole lot different. Stupid Vikings, if they would have just gone 0-12 their SOS would look a whole lot better xD. Yeah doesn't make sense.

So by that logic, I should probably deduct how many yards/pts a team scored against it's opponent before I rank them, which I could do, but I don't think it would change the end result by a noticeable amount. But I won't just take my word for it, I'll actually run the test first. It does sound like an even better system.

And maybe even a better system might be how much more or less points/yards you racked up against an opponent as compared to the average points/yards they allowed. I'll take a look at a few things. Either way, it will only tell us strength of schedule. Would still be fun to rank each Super Bowl team in terms of how easy/difficult they had it for curiosities sake.

Yup. I completely missed what you put together because I didn't look at what you really did. That's on me. But I like what you did. SOS not based on W/L records. It's what I get for looking at it in a hurry.

Alright here we go. I could slap down a whole bunch of charts on this, but we'll start with just a few of them. I ranked every schedule of every team from 1970-2016 (since Super Bowl 5), using the same method as the original post (minus all the categories). I'm going to call it the ASOS (adjusted strength of schedule or accurate strength of schedule) to not get it confused with the regular SOS (which won't be included here).

The columns are as follows, year, team, W-L-T, division or wildcard, playoff seed, ASOS rank of that season, ASOS rank out of all 1381 teams, and Super Bowl.

Every category is ranked by toughest schedule.

Super Bowl Winners:

Looks like ASOS has a great deal to do with how well you do. The 2010 Patriots might have been the greatest team of all time (14-2 despite a difficult schedule) but they lost in the divisional round to the Jets. So maybe the 2008 Steelers or 1986 Giants are the GOAT? No 15-1 team won a Super Bowl with a difficult schedule. Meanwhile the 1991 Colts had a pretty easy schedule and still finished 1-15.

The 1975 Vikings walked through the easiest schedule of all time before being 1 and done in the playoffs when Drew Pearson pushed off. They started the season 10-0 before losing at Washington 31-30, and at Detroit 17-10 a couple weeks later to finish 12-2.

We've discussed strength of schedule a few different places, but I'll just throw this here ...

FiveThirtyEight: The Way Everybody Measures NFL Schedule Strength? It’s Wrong.

Every year when the schedules are released, NFL analysts ritually compare the strength of the 32 teams’ slates. And every year, they do it the one way we know doesn’t work.

This year is no exception: Analysts are adding up last year’s wins and losses for each team’s 2018 opponents. That approach might make sense if we had no data about how NFL teams perform from year to year — but we have an awful lot, and it says that NFL win-loss records are significantly influenced by luck and are a terrible predictor of themselves.

Twelve years ago, Doug Drinen of Sports-Reference.com saw the annual crop of strength-of-schedule articles spring up and decided to test their merit. He compared NFL team records from the prior year (Year N) with the year before that (Year N-1) and their opponents’ win percentage from Year N-1, and he repeated the process all the way back to 1990.

Drinen found that prior-year wins by a team’s opponents are “essentially irrelevant” to following-year success — and while how well the other team plays absolutely matters when toe meets leather, “these strength-of-schedule estimates that are being thrown around right now seem to have no role at all in determining teams’ (upcoming year) records.”

In a league where about half the teams that make the playoffs in any given year miss them the following season (a whopping eight 2016 playoff teams missed the cut in 2017), assuming every team’s record will remain the same never really made any sense.

But there is a stat that does correlate with upcoming-season wins: Pythagorean wins, based on points scored and points allowed rather than win-loss record. Developed for baseball by Bill James and modified for other sports by current Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, this equation is where Pro-Football-Reference.com’s “expected wins” number comes from. In a 2007 blog post, Drinen found that this stat significantly correlates with next-season wins.

If we compare actual wins to expected wins for 2017, we see which teams are most likely to improve in 2018 and which are most likely to regress.

Come on 538, you're way behind Reignman. I ranked schedules based on points and yards and already came to the conclusion that it was a better indicator of strength, as I had assumed before I even set out to gather the data.
