The Cowboys have played a relatively tough schedule this year, and that may ultimately impact their draft spot.
When we first took a look at the 2015 Strength Of Schedule (SOS) at the end of last season, we saw that the Cowboys' 2015 opponents finished the 2014 season with a combined 119-136-1 record for a .467 winning percentage, the "easiest" schedule the the Cowboys have had in the last 10 years. Overall, that .467 SOS was only the 24th "toughest" schedule - or the 9th "easiest", as you prefer.
Now that the regular season is nearing its end, we can take a look at how the schedule has actually played out so far.
