I calculated it myself and got different results. I divided the wins by 13 (current total and that's where I got my numbers. And yes I did include the division games twice. Now I did count the last 3 games. Maybe that's where I messed up. Either way, if we lose out we don't have any problem. EDIT: I just removed the 3 final games and only used the first. The 49ers were .5858 and the Texans were .5740. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: I'm not using last years schedule. That's what I did wrong. I calculated the 2004 strength of schedule. 49er's: 48.83% Texans: 50.39% It still doesn't match the site that Harrisment posted.
I think you might have been right the first time. Megan Manfull has an article in the Chronicle today, and it says: "If the Texans and 49ers, who meet Jan. 1 in San Francisco, finish with the same record, the top pick will be decided by strength of schedule. Their head-to-head record will not matter. At this point, the Texans have had an easier schedule (their opponents' cumulative winning percentage is .574) than the 49ers (.586), meaning the Texans would draft first." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/3523583.html
