I've had a bit of a break from FanNation because of a project in school, but I'm back. I decided to compile a list of the 5 toughest division/conferences in sports to win, and I want anyone who reads this to comment and tell me what I did right and what I should have put on the list. Now some of the divisions or conferences are tough to win because of all the great teams that are in said division or conference. Some are hard to win because one team in the division/conference is a dynasty. With that said, here's the list:
5. ACC(Men's Basketball): When you think of ACC basketball, two teams come to mind: North Carolina and Duke. With that kind of competition, it's hard for any other team to win the conference, with Wake Forest being the last team to do so in the 2002-2003 season.
4. AFC East(NFL): When I mentioned earlier that some divisions just have a team that's a dynasty, the AFC East is the division that I had in mind. The Pats have dominated this division, winning every division title in the 21st Century except for the 2000 season.
3. SEC East(Football): Some people may think that this pick is influenced because of my background, but I don't care. The SEC Championship is tough to win and even tougher to escape the season with an undefeated record. Altough both sides of the conference is tough, the East stands out. Everyone of the West teams have battled for the division and conference title in the last 10 years. This cannot be said for all of the East teams.
2. Pacific Conference(NBA): Much like ACC men's basketball, only two teams in the Pacific Conference come to mind: the Lakers and the Suns. Don't expect the Kings, Clippers, or Warriors to come away with the Pacific Conference Title any time soon.
And Now, Here's the toughest conference/division in Sports to win:
1. AL East(MLB): Anyone to argue this pick is crazy. Every year this comes down to either the Red Sox and Yankees, and, in most cases, the team who finishes second ends up with the Wild Card in the playoffs. Although some of the other teams, like the Blue Jays, have put up good fights for some spotlight, they would be smarter to transfer to another division if they want to win the division in the next 100 years.

Report Offensive CommentAL East? Meh.
The Yanks have won 15 division titles, the Orioles have won 8, and the BoSox have won 6. Toronto has only won 5, but they weren't created until 1977, about eight years after the AL East was created.
