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

The NFL is entering its final “trimester” of the 2014 season, and by now, we have a very good idea of what to expect from the great majority of teams across the league. However, comparing the league’s divisions has been in vogue in some circles in recent days, as the NFC South approaches potentially historic territory for incompetence, but we have been here all along, ranking the divisions from top to bottom each and every week.

Last week’s rankings give us some context as to where things stood just seven days ago, but as usual, there is some upheaval this week, and that shouldn’t be a surprise. The top and bottom are always the “highlight” areas, but the middle tier is quite fluid, and there are discussions and arguments to be had about the respect given to various teams.
