ARTICLE: Exposing teams with the easiest schedule making playoff and super bowl runs recap.

Wrap up: There was no cherry-picking here. I did not leave out any teams that would've qualified under the rules I set or thereabouts. None of the last 10 Super Bowl winners had a really easy schedule. There are 18 teams listed about, 28 if you count all the teams with the easiest overall schedule, and none of them won a Super Bowl. That includes three teams that won at least 14 games, and those three teams went 0-3 in the playoffs.

There were 10 teams that went 13-3, and out of those, four went to the Super Bowl (all lost, of course), and four others didn't even win a playoff game. The closest any of these 28 teams came to winning a championship was the 2011 Pats, and at least they were 23rd.
