The AFC South might be the best division in the AFC, but there's no way it's the best division in the NFL. That distinction has to go to the NFC East.
The NFC East boasted three playoff teams last year, including the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants, the regular-season NFC champion Cowboys, and the Redskins. The Eagles, the only team from the division not to make the playoffs, still managed an 8-8 record. Philadelphia would have been second in any of the other NFC divisions, and in every AFC division except the AFC North. Plus, every team has an extremely passionate fan base, making it difficult for any team to play a road game against the NFC East.
There's no way the AFC South, with the below-average to mediocre Texans and Titans, is the best division in football. That distinction belongs to the NFC East.

Umm ... you do realize the AFC South also had 3 teams in the playoffs, and the team that did not make it also had an 8-8 record. All this happening in the MUCH tougher AFC.
AFC South> >> NFC East

I will give major props to the Giants for beating possibly the best team this league has ever seen take the field, but other than that not much.Wow are you serious, name me the teams in the NFC and then name me the teams in the AFC. Give me a break, the AFC South had 2 more total wins combined than the NFC East and look at NFC playoff bracket. The Redskins wouldn't even be in the playoffs and the Giants wouldn't even be in the playoffs, so you can't even talk. And the below average-mediocre Titans, are you serious, they made the playoffs with the worst receiving corps I've seen, boasted the same record as the SB Champion Giants and were leading SD at halftime, so give me a break. AFC South is better than the NFC East.

Except that anyone can win when they get to share a conference with the Jets, Dolphins, Chiefs, Raiders and Broncos. Thanks for playing, however! And the NFC is loaded with such great
Have we short-term memory loss? San Fran, Atlanta, St. Louis, Chicago...
Please, we can play this all day. And for the record, I'm a HUGE NFC East fan.

The NFC East last year played the AFC East as their out of conference opponents. Other than New England, that was easier than walking out your front door in the morning. Perhaps everyone's records were a little bloated in the "NFC Beast".

Excellent point Hornetking. Those were 3 gimme wins there with the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins. Talk about a cake walk.

Right now, I'd say the AFC South is the best division and I'd say that the AFC is the better conference. The thing that sets the AFC apart is the quarterbacks. With Bret Favre retiring from Green Bay, the gap may get worse. The AFC has a plethora of young, talented QBs. Meanwhile, the NFC has some young talent, but they need some seasoning to be at the level of the AFC's. The only two Super Bowl caliber QBs in the NFC are Matt Hasselbeck and Donovan McNabb. A few others may be close, but not quite there, yet.
To narrow the gap, NFC teams like Tampa Bay, Washington, Minnesota, Atlanta, and Chicago have to bite the bullet and choose a "franchise" QB.

We have established that the NFC East and AFC South were the 2 best divisions in the NFL last year. To me the AFC South was a little more impressive in the regular season, but a NFC East team did win the Super Bowl.
I call it a push.

the nfc east is very competitive, but consider they play in the nfc, so thats a slight advantage. and the Giants, who won the super bowl, might not have even made the playoffs in the afc.
obviously dallas would have been up there as well...
but philly and washington would have been left for scraps.
