overworkedirish Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Chatter from the Suck for Luck fans (amongst which I do not count myself) surrounds the big question: Who will get the first pick? Many surmise that more than one team will have the worst record, in which case the first pick goes to the team with the lower SOS (i.e. the collective W-L record of their opponents is worse, implying that despite being given the opportunity to win against lesser teams, they STILL stunk it up and deserve a better draft pick). In order to busy my time rooting for something other than the disaster in Miami, I've compiled SOS stats on all teams with 2 wins or less, and how different game outcomes each week will impact each bottom tier team's SOS. The below SOS listed takes into account ALL 2011 OPPONENTS past, present, and future. It also accounts for tomorrow's SD @ KC Monday night game - all these bottom tier teams will have the SOS listed below regardless of that game's outcome EXCEPT for IND (specifics below). IND: 0-8, SOS: 0.542 (as of now, Sunday night) MIA: 0-7, SOS: 0.566 ARI: 1-6, SOS: 0.478 STL: 1-6, SOS: 0.553 CAR: 2-6, SOS: 0.5042 SEA: 2-5, SOS: 0.5044 JAC: 2-6, SOS: 0.508 MIN: 2-6, SOS: 0.579 DEN: 2-5, SOS: 0.582 MONDAY NIGHT'S IMPACT ON IND: RIGHT NOW: IND SOS is 0.5424 SD/KC tie: IND SOS is 0.5420 SD win: IND SOS is 0.538 KC win: IND SOS is 0.546 As a Dolphins fan rooting against IND getting the first pick, all I can say is: GO CHIEFS!
