I contend the NFC East is the toughest division.

Are you really going to use that argument? So you feel Cincinnatti and Cleveland are better teams then Philadelphia & Washington? Because that's the argument, Oakland could play teams with a .700 winning percentage but that wouldn't make them the best team in the NFL either.

If the NFC South is a paper tiger then there must not be any other strong divisions that means the NFC East is the best division in a league of weak divisions....:D :roll:

The NFC South has no team with a losing record and 3 playoff contenders, but they're paper tigers? That's almost as dumb as going into a deep statistical debate about who is the strongest division. At least conference strength in college football matters because it helps boost recruiting. The best high schoolers want to play on and against strong teams. Players at an SEC or Big 12 school get the benefit of showcasing their talent against the best players. Arguing division strength in the NFL means nothing.

Not to mention, they suck. They keep losing against teams. That adds to the other team's win total. I know its being completely nit picky, but if they were better, they wouldn't give away so many wins and wouldn't have such a high SOS. Same thing goes for good teams too.

I wonder if theres a way to factor in SOS while taking out the 14 or 16 games that the certain team played. So if you are looking at Cincinnati's SOS as of now, you take out the 14 results of their games (basically taking away 11 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie). I am not sure if that is already done though.
