Stongest NFL division this year?

I'll put in my vote for the NFC South. NFC seems stronger overall this year.

Update:

While I do agree that the Bears will be the only undefeated team in the league by the end of this week, I just can't say NFC north because Green Bay and Detroit are in that division. NFC south are all strong teams. Bucs are 1-4 but that maybe because they have had a rough schedule so far. They have played all very strong teams (Baltimore, Atlanta, Carolina w/ S. Smith, Saints and an upset against Cinci.)

    For you people who want to say a division is the strongest just because one powerhouse team is in it (i.e. Chicago) that's just idiotic. Let's take a look at records, because in the end it's wins and losses that really count. So far the NFC South, East, and North has been mentioned along with the AFC North so we'll just look at those divisions:

    The AFC North has a combined record of 10-11. Ok that's a losing record....therefore, NOT the strongest division.

    The NFC North has a combined record of 10-11, and assuming the Bears will beat the Cardinals tonight, the North's record will be 11-11. Ok so they're batting .500, not bad....but not the best.

    The NFC East has a combined record of 12-10 which is good, but wait....STILL not the best.

    The NFC SOUTH has a combined record of 13-9, which is, the BEST record out of all the divisions in the NFL. Granted, some teams in the NFL have had bye weeks and some teams haven't, but at this current moment, the NFC South has the best record and therefore is the CURRENT strongest division in the NFL.

    Next week the East's record may end up being better than the South's. Anyone can argue this all they want, but in the end, the W's and the L's are the only things that matter.

    The NFC East is the toughest division because the Redskins, Eagles, Giants & Cowboys will probably have winning records and the gap between them will probably be the same as it is now. Like the other person said, if they were in separate divisions like sorry divisions like the NFC north, they would be dominate.

    By default, It would have to be the NFC South. There really is no strong, dominating division this year.

    NFC East is strongest division. Almost every team could make the playoffs if they were in different divisions.
