@KevG163 This was the first Super Bowl game I attended. Great game!

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

Seahawks are the first team to advance to the Super Bowl facing only division opponents in the conference playoffs.

[Jane Slater @SlaterNFL]

No one listens. They always think people in Dallas exaggerate 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

Of the first 59 Super Bowls, 41 were either played in California or Florida, or featured the New England Patriots. Yet despite that, New England has never appeared in a Super Bowl held in either of those states. This year’s Super Bowl will be in California.

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

If the Rams and Patriots meet in the Super Bowl, they will tie the Cowboys vs. Steelers as the most common SB matchup (three times).

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

If Seattle defeats the Rams in the NFC Championship, the Seahawks will be the first team to advance to the Super Bowl facing only division opponents in the conference playoffs (San Francisco and Los Angeles).

This was the best game ever played at Texas Stadium.

COWBOYS-REDSKINS NFC EAST CROWN SHOWDOWN

In 1979's 'Game of the Year', Roger Staubach performs his final miracle, directing two comebacks of 17 and 13 points, respectively, as the #Cowboys edge the #Redskins, 35-34.

Staubach's 8-yard touchdown pass to Tony Hill with :39 left clinches the NFC East title for the #DallasCowboys and eliminates #HTTR from playoff contention.

@StevePalazzolo_ Jacksonville returned to Denver for the Wild Card game the following season when the Broncos won their first Super Bowl.

@cjchristian00 I don’t think the SEC has 10 members that have not yet defeated a bowl-eligible opponent.

@tdayp I’ve already done that in a separate post.

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

Eight teams have at least four wins vs. bowl-eligible opponents.

Indiana (5)
Ohio State (5)
BYU (5)
Alabama (5)
NC State
Michigan
USC
Notre Dame

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

@FucciMane Notre Dame and South Florida are the only two with six wins or more. All other wins are against teams with five wins or less.

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

@ChrisBirdsall75 Ohio State and Texas A&M aren’t one-loss teams.

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

One-loss teams with at least three wins vs. A4 bowl-eligible opponents.

BYU (4)
Georgia
Texas Tech

[Cody Kellner @cody_kellner]

Since 2014, approximately 70% of SEC teams to finish with two conference losses that didn’t advance to the conference championship ended up in the top 12 of the final CFP rankings.
