At one time it was the NFC Championship that was considered the Superbowl by many because it was the game with the two best teams in the NFL for a long time.
AFC then took over after Denvers wins for the most part.
I think it is growing closer but over all I think the AFC still has the better group of teams.
i dont think either conference is particularly great. apart from the colts there are no great teams in my mind. I think Carolina, despite their record, and maybe even dallas are as close as it comes to the colts...who are way ahead
