Coffin Corner Tuesdays

I've decided, mostly inspired by this column, to start making Power Rankings every week. It was a little stupid to do this during the playoffs, but now that all the teams are at even again, we can start. I probably won't offer too much justification. This list is mostly gut feeling, a little bit of roster knowledge, an idea as to how good their coaches are, and kind of taking into account their schedules. I'm not counting any retirements that haven't happened yet (ie: this list assumes Favre plays for the Packers next year). So, without further ado:

A note: 
2008 Schedule: The numbers beside the divisions is how I rank them in overall quality, from best (1) to worst (8)
AFC North (3) play AFC South (1), NFC East (2) = Strength of Schedule (3), or 1
AFC South (1) play AFC North (3), NFC North (4) = Strength of Schedule (7), or 3
AFC East (7) play AFC West (5), NFC West (8) = Strength of Schedule (13), or 7
AFC West (5) play AFC East (7), NFC South (6) = Strength of Schedule (13), or 8

NFC North (4) play AFC South (1), NFC South (6) = Strength of Schedule (7), or 2
NFC South (6) play AFC West (5), NFC North (4) = Strength of Schedule (9), or 5
NFC East (2) play AFC North (3), NFC West (8) = Strength of Schedule (11), or 6
NFC West (8) play AFC East (7), NFC East (2) = Strength of Schedule (9), or 4
