Believe it or not, summer is just about over. And while the imminent approach of autumn means colder weather, school, and other horrors, it also brings with it one of life's great joys: Football season!  To celebrate, Madden NFL 11 has simulated the entire NFL season and determined that the Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers will win their respective conferences.

Madden also picked individual players of the year and MVPs. They're under the cut.
