They’d have to change the scheduling process though because right now, SOS is partially predetermined by how a team finished the previous season. The reason the Chiefs, for example, have such a tough schedule is because they won the division last year. It would be similar to the BCS, where the top teams would have an inherent advantage week 1.

AFCN teams have a much tougher conference schedule than AFCE...every year. Chiefs had to play the 10-1 Rams on the road but a game against the 2-9 49ers essentially counts the same.
Strength of schedule should be the #1 determining factor after record IMO. Not everybody has to play the same quality of teams...an 11-5 record against bottom-dwellers isn't the same as 11-5 against top talent.
Chiefs have played The Rams, Chargers, NE and Pittsburgh on the Road...Texans toughest road games are NE, Colts, Redskins and Broncos.
