2. Strength of schedule doesn't mean a lot to me

it matters in college sports but it isn't always the best indicator of who is the better team. All it does is judge how good the team's opponents are. As far as pro sports it doesn't mean a lot considering each win or loss counts the same no matter who the opponent is.

Also there will be teams that were good last year will be worse next year and the opposite will be true as there may be some bad teams that turn out to be playoff contenders this year.
