"monkey see, monkey do".

I agree with what you are saying.  But like a lot of things in this country, the people that make the decisions don't use common sense in their decision making.  The NFL use to have the Falcons and Saints in the Western Division for years.  At least they finally got that straight. 

I guess I haven't really paid attention to the divisions in the AFL. But it would make sense to have Dallas in the Central.

You got me curious about the divison setup in the AFL.  After looking through it there are two teams that I would change.  The Western and Southern divisions make sense and work according to their geography. 

Dallas is obviously the team out of it's range being in the East, but the Grand Rapids are in the Central and I would think that they belong in the East instead of Dallas. And Dallas should be in the Central. 

What I don't know (and too lazy to look up right now) is when the teams entered in the league.  That could be why they are in the repected divisions they are in today.  The division may have been already made up and a expansion team came in and they were placed in a division, regardless of geography, to have the same number of teams in each division.  Although, the East does have one more team (5) than the rest of the league (4).  Who knows, maybe the AFL will revamp the divisions later on like they did in the NFL to make it more geographically correct.

Right now I'm watching the "Broad Street Brawl" between Desperados and the Soul and I hate to say it, but I don't think the AFL will ever put Dallas in the Central division and keep them in the east.  The reason being is money.  This has become a huge rivalry (just like the Cowboys and Eagles in the NFL) and too much money comes in to play.

I agree with what you are saying about the divisions, but this game matchup is a big one.  As long they are both winning that is.

At least that's the way it's looking right now.

I think that all sports should redo the conference seeding.
