Topic: NFC South


  
  National Football Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NFC was created after the league merged with the American Football League (AFL) in early 1970.
When the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the league in 1976, they were temporarily placed in the NFC and AFC, respectively, for one season before they switched conferences.
At the end of each football season, a series of playoff games involving the top six teams in the NFC are played, consisting of the four division champions by place standing and the top two remaining non division champion teams ("wild cards") by record.

 washingtonpost.com: In the NFC, the South Shall Rise Again
Let's give a little love to the oft-ignored NFC South, the division from which the last two NFC champions have emerged.
This year, the NFC South is the only division in which all of its teams have outscored their opponents.
But none of those divisions has the Panthers (winners of five of six), the Saints (who scored two touchdowns in the final 3 minutes 33 seconds last week to win at Tampa Bay) or the Bucs (losers of three of four, but the one win was a shutout of the division-leading Falcons on Dec. 5).

NFC East is head of the class in the NFL.

The NFC South plays very good football from top to bottom and there are no easy games.
If NFC South teams are going to average just 15 points a game against Carolina, there will be another surprise season in store for all concerned.

 FOX23 News - Coverage & Convenience Suddenly, Bucs are team to beat in loaded NFC South   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Most had dismissed the Bucs' chances in the rugged NFC South, particularly after an inexplicable midseason loss to the conference's doormat, the San Francisco 49ers, that was followed up by a sound thrashing at home to the South's regarded kingpin, the Carolina Panthers.
Well, the Buccaneers have responded to their critics with four victories in five weeks since that game, and made their most emphatic statement yet on Sunday with an impressive 20-10 triumph on the road in their rematch with Carolina.
Although Tampa Bay is currently tied with Carolina at the top of the NFC South, with Atlanta lurking one game back, the Bucs currently hold the tiebreaker edge because they have only one intradivision loss, compared to two by both the Panthers and Falcons.
