But Gip- I'll give you a little project- if your up to it- transpose W-L record with strength of schedule. I bet the Browns rank real high. OHOH- who's the bozo that has the Chargers dead last even though they're way at the top in every defensive or offensive category. (Hint) Norv Turner is a franchise killer- shoulda kept Marty.
I don't think I would know how to do your little project so what I think I will just stick to this: I will just continue to relate would would make the playoffs if the season were to end now. Is that realistic? Not till the end of the season, but at least, in my opinion, it is a better gauge than "power rankings" are.
