Say the Titans beat up on a lifeless AFC South and the Colts weren't getting hot, and their non-conference opponent was the NFC East.  Fine.  Call that a paper tiger.  Not these cats.  

Because that worked so well in 2009 and 2011-2015?

Nah. The best teams (that win playoff games and SBs) are the teams that beat other good teams at their best. It's a litmus test that doesn't lie.
