I suspect that the NFC East will win this poll. No matter what order the teams in that division finish, it would not surprise me. AFC West & NFC South are right there too.

to me, there is a difference between Toughest and most competitive.
Toughest Division - AFC West
Most Competitive Division - NFC East/NFC North
Toughest Division - AFC West
Most Competitive Division - NFC East/NFC North

I'm nearly certain it's the AFC North. Why must you even try to argue it? Super Bowl Champs, Playoff team, a team that had most of its stars injured last season, and a team of the rise. Four teams capable of making the playoffs this season.
Edit to zanti8: Are you kidding me? If I'm understanding you correctly, you think the worst team in the NFC East will go 9-7?? Has that ever even happened before?

I think the NFC East might be the toughest and most competitive. There's no weak link in that division. In the AFC West, I'm unsure about the Chiefs and low on the Raiders.
Their defense wasn't all that good last year. (Or the year before that, or the year before that . . .)

I agree that there's a difference between toughest and most competitive.I think the AFC West is always a good bet, but I have trouble calling them the "toughest" until I see Rivers play some.
For a conference that isn't as good, the AFC sure has been whupping up on the NFC for the past decade, now hasn't it?Until the NFC shows me it's ready to hang with the AFC, I have to assume that the AFC is still the better conference.
IIRC, the AFC East didn't have a single team with a losing record in the first year after realignment. Of course, it didn't have a single team better than 9-7, either. New York, New England, and Miami finished in a 3-way tie for first at 9-7, and Buffalo managed to go 8-8 thanks to an out-of-nowhere ridiculous season by Bledsoe, Moulds, and Peerless Price.
