There really are none. The conferences that hold championship games are those that have so many teams that they are broken into two divisions. The winner of each division will play in the championship game to crown a conference champion. Conferences that are not broken into two divisions do not have a championship game.
Tampa Bay lost to the St. Louis Rams 11-6 in the 1999 NFC Championship Game.
No
yes if they are ranked 1 and 2 in the polls
48 i think
No. The Redskins and the 49ers CAN'T play in the Super Bowl because they play in the same conference. The latest they could meet would be in the NFC Championship game.
These days there is no difference. Once upon a time there was. The NFL championship was awarded to the winner of the league's championship game prior to 1969. Before the merger of the AFL and NFL in 1970, the leagues agreed to play an annual AFL-NFL World Championship Game (later rechristened the Superbowl).
Currently (May 5), that is yet to be determined. The teams that advanced in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs are Cleveland, Detroit, Orlando, and Boston. One of those teams will win the Eastern Conference and play for the championship. The teams that advanced in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs were New Orleans, San Antonio, Utah, and Los Angeles. One of those teams will win the Western Conference and play for the championship.
In 2001 the Nebraska football team did not even make the Big Twelve championship game after losing to Colorado 62-36 in the final contest of the regular season and still went on to play in the national championship. Nebraska lost 37-14 against Miami in the national championship.
Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles have played the Carolina Panthers in the playoffs. The played in the 2003 NFC Conference Championship game. The Eagles lost 14-3.
The Cowboys have won eight NFC Championship games.
The NBA has a total of four rounds (quarterfinal, semifinal, conference final, THE finals) in the playoffs, for each conference (East and West). That means a total of 16 teams (8 in each conference) will be determined by their regular season records to participate in the playoffs. Well after the quarter final and semifinal rounds in the playoffs. 2 teams in each conference play against each other in the conference final or 3rd; the first team to get 4 victories gets to play in the championship round ( 1 team from each conference plays against each other) and the similar guidlines apply to determine the Championship winner.
