Out of the 8, I immediately dismiss the AFC South, Then both west divisons.

Then it gets tough

I think the AFC North(Steelers,Ravens,Bengals and Browns) is the Class of the AFC with the AFC East(Bills,Patriots,Jets, and Dolphins) not too far behind.

The Class of thje NFC is a toss up between the South, North(Bears,Lions,Packers and Vikings) and East(Cowboys,Giants,Eagles,and Skins).

I honestly can't rank them once down to those 5. Try and put your rankings together and see if theres a consensus.

should be a fun offseason challenge to kill some time.

Until the Panthers convert potential into wins, the falcons prove they can win a playoff game, and the bucs win more than 8, considering the NFCS one of the top 5 divisions is a wee bit homerish.

Id go with

NFCN

AFCN

NFCE

I don't think its homerish at all to consider the South better than either west division or the AFC south, would you honestly rank any of those divsions better than the NFC South?

As evidenced the past few years the NFC East should be the toughest in the league. Every year they beat up on each other and drive down overall records. This last year the entire division was decided by 1 game. Next up would be the tough one, solely based on Tampa and Carolinas recent struggles and the Norths ability to beat the South I give them the nod.

The AFC is pretty cut and dry, East and North rule that conference.

Soooo.... Pretty much the North and the East out of both conferences.

PS: The NFC South will take over as the toughest in all of football all because of :cam:

Id say the only slam dunk worse division right now is the AFCS. I think that the AFCW is only slightly worse and with Manning out there now that changes the way you judge that division. NFCW is about even in my book.

Maybe we are the top of the bottom half but there is no way we are in the top half.

not yet anyway.

AFCN

NFCS

NFCN

NFC East - Always top dog.

NFC North - 3 teams are capable of making deep runs in the playoffs.

AFC North - 3 teams were in the playoffs and Cleveland is much improved with Richardson and Weeden.

NFCS

NFCE

AFCN

I think you have to compare the worst teams in each division. Bucs > Redskins > Vikings... Browns > Dolphins

[nickzz]

easy

NFCS NFCN AFCN, in no order.

no other division comes close really

Based on last year...

AFC North- The AFC North had three teams make the playoffs last year in the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals

NFC North- Detroit and Green Bay dominated that division last year.

NFC South- The Saint's and Falcons were on top of their games last year.

This year, in my opinion

NFC North- The Lions, Packers, and Bears all have the ability to make the playoffs this year.

AFC North- Like the other two divisions, the AFC North has three teams in the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals that can make the playoffs.

NFC East- The Giants and Eagles seem to be the favorites, but everyone in the North has a shot at that division this year.

The reason I don't have the NFC South up there is because I only think one team will make the playoffs from the NFC South, it will be us or the Falcons.

I think the Falcons will be decline a little bit from last year and the Saints**** will be significantly worse. I personally think we can go 11-5, and I see the Bucs as a five win team.

For next year I see it being NFCS, NFCN, and AFCN.
