So we suck at sucking

Strength is schedule is a pretty lame tiebreaker. Penalizes teams with a tougher schedule - especially when it’s in the same division

That's the point - if two teams finish with the same record, the one with the easier schedule is probably a worse team, thus gets a better draft pick.

EDIT: Although, I think head-to-head results should be factored in as well, if applicable.

But there’s really not a correlation to that

Especially if you’re getting blown out against those tough teams.

Margin of loss would be a better measure

H2H is the 3rd aftet SOS and common opponents record

Yes, but given the unlikelihood of SOS being exactly the same for two teams, it would be extremely rare to reach the third tie-breaker. Guess I should have been more clear that I think head-to-head sweep should be the first tie-breaker.

I agree, it's dumb that is third

These guys make so much money, life changing money for most of us that I don't bat an eye at wanting them to get fired.

Not to mention the good oid old boy network says they'll be employed with a football next year if they want it.
