We won 10 games (and at least our 10 wins all came against teams that were trying to win . . .) and yet are sitting at home this January. Here is a list of the number of teams who finished either 10-6 or 9-7 and did not make the playoffs. This goes back to the 1990 season, when the 12 team playoffs were put into place.
| Season | 10-6 | 9-7 |
| 2007 | 1 | - |
| 2006 | - | 1 |
| 2005 | 1 | 4 |
| 2004 | - | 3 |
| 2003 | 1 | 1 |
| 2002 | - | 4 |
| 2001 | - | 1 |
| 2000 | - | 4 |
| 1999 | - | 1 |
| 1998 | - | - |
| 1997 | - | 1 |
| 1996 | - | 2 |
| 1995 | - | 1 |
| 1994 | - | 2 |

What really sucks is that we get the schedule dificulty of a 10-6 team next season without the one benefit a 10-6 team usually gets, a trip to the playoffs.
What price would I pay to get that Oakland, Pittsburgh 2 or Arizona game back.
I would love to take credit for this homework, but I can't, so many props to swk (thanks, man!). Here is a forecast schedule based on the pre-determined division matchups and the Browns' record this year (with opp. 2007 win percentage):
-----------------------------
>Home
>
>Baltimore Ravens 5-11
>Cincinnati Bengals 7-9
>Pittsburgh Steelers 10-6
>Houston Texans 8-8
>Indianapolis Colts 13-3
>Dallas Cowboys 13-3
>New York Giants 10-6
>Denver Broncos 7-9

>Away

>Baltimore Ravens 5-11

>Pittsburgh Steelers 10-6
>Jacksonville Jaguars 11-5
>Tennessee Titans 10-6
>Philadelphia Eagles 8-8
>Washington Redskins 9-7
>Buffalo Bills 7-9
>
>140-116 : Winning Percentage 0.547
>This should be the 2nd highest strength of schedule behind the Steelers.
>(Last Year: 130-126 Winning Percentage 0.508 Ranked 12th...Raiders had 0.539 to lead the pack.)
>Our draft pick is actually after Tampa Bay and the Redskins who made the playoffs in the NFC (22nd).
additionally, swk sent this addendum with this years' strength of schedule
