Sorry, it's more than just hype...nfc east is overrated like college football's sec. it's all the hype from being on the east coast and having the largest portion of the population. for all the hype the NFC east gets about having the best teams, they rarely win the superbowl. i mean, as far as considering the amount of press pump they get. you would think that the best team from the best division would be a lock to be in the super bowl every year.
wikipedia said:NFC East teams have a combined 19 Super Bowl appearances and eleven wins, the highest marks of any division in the NFL. Each of the current NFC East's four teams has won at least three NFL championships during their existence, however only Philadelphia has yet to win a championship in the Super Bowl era. Given the division members histories and intense rivalries, many sports analysts and fans regard the NFC East as the toughest division in the NFL. In the early 1990s the division claimed four consecutive Super Bowl champions, as the Cowboys won two and the Giants and Redskins took one each (those same three teams won seven out of ten Super Bowls, from 1987-1996).
