Default Re: settle an argument - which division is the best in football?

Adding about the DVOA would make a lot more sense than using rankings.

Don't you have outlier problems then?

E.g., the average DVOA of NE (70) and SF (-50) is about 10, the same as the average DVOA of JAC (10) and SEA (10), the 9th and 10th best teams in the NFL.

FWIW, here are the conference DVOAs

AFCS 71.6
NFCE 55.9
AFCN 23.1
AFCE 19.9
NFCN 00.5
NFCS -25.1
AFCW -57.4
NFCW -90.9

If you go by ranking:
AFCS 9.75
NFCE 10
AFCN 14
NFCN 15
AFCE 18.5
NFCS 19
AFCW 22.25
NFCW 23.5
