We rank each of the NFL divisions from worst to the best

We have a great deal of data on the NFL after seven full weeks of competitive football, and as a result of that, there should theoretically be some “evening out” of things like power rankings. However, more data does not necessarily iron out all of the mystery will the “haves” and “have nots” around the league, and after the Week 7 slate, we have a decent amount of upheaval with regard to how the league’s eight divisions stack up against one another.

Last week’s rankings do paint somewhat of a picture of where perception was just seven days ago, but after yet another wild and crazy Sunday slate, there is plenty to discuss. There have been firm trenches dug at both the top and bottom spots in our NFL division rankings this season, but after Week 7, there is actually real debate on both slots for the first time during the 2014 campaign, and that adds more intrigue to the proceedings.
