..mathematics entering into the equation is presumptively asinine IMO....makes about as much as sense as pre-season strength of schedule forecasts and the "doom 'n gloom" thereafter upon release.....it precludes all variables......injuries, cuts, releases, trades, PS promotions, coaching/philosophy changes, suspensions, etc.....would be an interesting for one of TBD's "stat rat gurus" to do a study of pre-season vs post-season strength of schedule comparatives.....despite it being an tedious exercise WELL beyond my intellect, I'd bet the differences are generally substantial because of the variables...
