On February 2, a new Super Bowl champion was crowned, which officially marked the end of the 2008 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers proved to be the best team this season, but have you wondered which division is the best? Maybe I am the only one who thought about, so I went through each division and compiled a list of who I felt was the best players at each position based mostly on their regular season performance in 2008. The source I used for this is from NFL.com. This blog contains the NFC conference. Based on each division's starter roster, which division do you feel is the best?
