Purely based on record though.

Wonder if any idiot brings that up during the hype this week, NOT

So does the winner gets the Broncos in the BSPN Championship Game?

Whatever !

Just their opinions, which really don't matter in the big picture.

What would be interesting, however, is to go back for 5-10 years and see what rankings were held by the two Superbowl teams after week 12.

I'm guessing that they weren't both in the top 3 for the majority of years.

It would make for an interesting research project... if only I knew where ESPN achieves their weekly rankings.

Being an engineer, I like research projects... especially football-related ones.

Well the Monday Night game pits the #1 Seahawks against the #2 Saints.
If this doesn't excite you at this point of the season, you are nuts.

Imagine at the start of the season, would any of you have predicted this?
My hats off to the Saints for achieving this very important milestone at this point of the season.

Now Go Win the Freaking Game!!!

Nothing matters in the big picture except one game in February.

How come only power rankings get the "it doesn't matter" reply when nothing else does?

Since when does being respected not matter?

It might not count for anything but it always matters.
