A friend of mine and I got into an argument last night about whether or not pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships are equal to Super Bowl Championships in terms of accomplishment.
He says that they are the same because the NFL Championship game was the Super Bowl before the event was created (which is not factually true!).
I say winning the Super Bowl is a bigger accomplishment and that the old NFL Champsionships should be compared with the current NFC/AFC Championships. I base my argument primarily on the fact that the 1968 Colts and 1969 Vikings were NFL Champions, but did not win the Super Bowl.
Were does everyone here fall?
