Strength of Schedule through Week 15

It's time to look at the Strength of Schedule through Week 15. This does not take into account last night's tense and well-deserved 8th straight win. If you'd like to know what the columns mean, check back at last week, where I explain the table.

Some thoughts:

Playing an 0-14 team doesn't help the SoS. Call me Cpt. Obvious.
From the looks of it, the #3 and #4 seeds in the AFC playoffs will not have an easier schedule than 27th in the league. I like our chances against said #4 seed.
The Titans schedule will jump pretty close to the Colts over the next two weeks, especially if they end up with the same record, as they are playing an 11-3 team this week, and an 11-4 team next week. These things all even out in the end, right?
I'm not sure how Dick Jauron is going to keep his job. He's played the easiest schedule in the league this year, started 5-1, and has gone 1-7 since.

Again, the table is sortable by clicking on the column headers. Enjoy!
