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

[Jules22]

i just think jax tenn and houston are all vastly ovverrated (especially tenn who is just inept on offense right now) i think the giants and the redskins are better than jax and tenn and i think philadelphia is a lot better than houston.

[Jules22]

also i think their aggregate won loss record is the same 23 wins and 13 losses for each - so it is really close

[NT!]

i am sure whatever i guess, someone is going to post DVOA and prove me wrong, so somebody just post DVOA already.

The week 10 DVOA rankings aren't out yet.

As of week 9:

NFC East:
DAL 3
NYG 11
PHI 12
WAS 14

AFC South:
IND 2
TEN 5
JAC 9
HOU 23

So the AFC South wins if you go by average ranking (9.75 versus 10 for NFC East) or by number of teams in top 10.

FWIW, NFC West:
SEA 10
ARI 21
STL 31
SF 32

It should be Pit/Cle/Bal/Cin.

If you could just combine Cinci O and Baltimore D and leave the worst team ever assembled, I'd vote that division.

No love for the AFC west? Barring Vinateri's ridiculous collapse, we had a good shot at a 6-8 team winning the division.

[Jules22]

im a raiders fan and i said that the afc west was the worst

hes a niners fan and he insisted the nfc west was the worst.. i had to agree lol

[gusmahler]

AFC South:
SD 13
KC 22
DEN 24
OAK 30

Their worst teams aren't as bad as the worst teams in the NFC West. And their best team isn't as good as the best team in the NFC West. (Avg ranking = 22.25 in AFC West; 23.5 in NFC West).

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

[SMIGLET]

its hard to say bc people are gonna say tennessee and jax are overrated, but i dont think there's any question that the nfc east is by far the most competitive division in the league
