yankeehillbilly said:In reality, only two games are determined by the previous year's win/loss record.
The scheduling formula is as follows:
Each team will play home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).
Each team will play the four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).
Each team will play the four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).
Each team will play a pair of intraconference games based on the prior year's standings (2 games), i.e. first-place teams in a division will play against the first-place teams from another division within the same conference, etc.
Thank you, every year its the same old why do we have a hard schedule after being crap last season, or why did such and such who made the playoffs have an easier schedule. Don't people read, the schedule is set in stone through 2009, the only games that aren't are the 2 that are based on our final position and the team in the respective division that we are not playing against that finished in the same position. Google it and you can find the teams we play through the next few years and you start a new thread about why our schedule will be so damn tough next year.
