The one conversation I remember around here in '13 were people blowing their load on beating the Jaguars in the opener... of course, after '12, the bar was set
really low, but of course as fans do, some took it to the extreme and thought they were playoff contender after that one game.
Looking at that 9-0 start, their SoS was .361, beating one team with a winning record (one that finished 8-8, and two others 7-9). In the remaining 8 games, their SoS was .554, playing 5 teams with winning records (offset a bit by a 3-13 and 4-12 teams).
Overall, giving them a SoV of .335.
For reference, the Bengals' current SoV is .237, which is the lowest in the league including the Panthers (.241).
