How a team reaches the Super Bowl
The NFL splits into two conferences, the AFC and the NFC. Each runs its own playoff bracket, and the two conference champions meet in the Super Bowl — which means the two best teams in the league can never both reach it if they share a conference. Unlike a league title decided over a season, this is a single game on a neutral field, and that is precisely why upsets are part of the competition rather than an aberration.
The naming convention catches people out. Super Bowls are numbered in Roman numerals and named for the numeral, not the calendar year, and the game is played in the February following the season it decides. So the game ending the 2023 season is Super Bowl LVIII, played in 2024. This quiz uses the numeral, because that is how the games are actually referred to.
Why the single-game format produces the results it does
A thirty-eight-match league season is a reasonable test of which team is best. One game is not, and the Super Bowl does not pretend otherwise — it is a championship decided by a single afternoon, which is a large part of its cultural weight. The 2007 New England Patriots went 18-0 and lost the only game that counted.
The knock-on effect for a quiz is that "who was best that year" and "who won" come apart more often than in football. Every question here is about who actually won, taken from the game record, never about who was favoured.
