The 2010 Raiders won all 6 of their division games. Not only did they miss the playoffs, they still managed to finish 3rd in their own division. The 9-7 Chargers finished 2nd and also missed the playoffs.
most recently, this year 2010, the Oakland Raiders went undefeated in the AFC west, finished 8-8, third in that division
The last season both the Red Sox and Yankees did not make the playoffs was 1993. Since MLB went to 3 divisions in each league in 1995, one or both teams have made the playoffs every season.
Playoff berths are awarded according to conference ranking, not records. The top six seeds in each conference make the playoffs, no matter what their records are. That includes the four division winners and two wild card teams (the non-division winners with the two best records). In theory, it's possible to not win a single game and still make the playoffs! Every team in a division would have to go 0-10-6, with every team tying every other team in the division and losing all their games outside the division. Strength of schedule would be the first tiebreaker to kick in to determine a division winner.
With the Houston Texans making the playoffs this year every team will have been to the playoffs.
That is the United States. Norway has missed winning a gold medal in only one Winter Olympics (1988).
Yes. Joe Torre was the manager of the Yankees from 1996-2007 and they made the playoffs every season.
No. It is only the overall record that matters when it comes to Division Championships. A team could conceivably win every divisional matchup, yet lose every other game for a record of 6-10, while another team in the same division could lose every divisional matchup, but win every other game for a record of 10-6 and head to the playoffs as the Division Champions (if the other two teams' records were 9-5 or worse). The division games do matter in the case of a tie for the best record in the division, as the head to head record is the first tiebreaker for entry to the playoffs and seeding.

Every year, 8 teams qualify for the MLB playoffs. If you win your division, you make the playoffs.
If Davis don't get big heads when they reach the playoffs then they may have a big shot at winning the state championship but if they go into the playoffs thinking they will win every game and they have big heads about then they may not have as much of a chance at winning.

(3-13) in division would be the worst record a team can have and still possibly make the playoffs. As of January 3, 2011, the 2010 Seattle Seahawks are in the 2010 NFL playoffs with a 7-9 record.Not only is this the worst record to make the playoffs, it is the worst record to win a division as well. Although, it is possible to have every team in a division go 3-13. 0 wins, 10 losses, and 6 ties (0-10-6) or 3 wins and 13 losses (3-13). In the first instance, every team in the same division would have to tie each of its 3 division opponents twice, and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (0-10-6), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ. In the 2nd instance, every team in the same division would have to split 1-1 with each of its 3 division opponents and lose all 13 non-division games. All 4 teams in the division would then have the same record (3-13), and a tie-breaker would determine the division champ.
The NFL playoffs start Sunday, January 1st in 2012. Every year the playoffs for the NFL start at the same time. Then the playoffs continue even up to and past January 8th 2012.
yao has helped the Houston rockets for the past seasons, helping the rockets to the playoffs and winning records in almost every season the last decade
With the Houston Texans making the playoffs this year every team will have been to the playoffs.
The University of Michigan is one...but I can't recall who the second is.
They were in the playoffs every year from 1991-2005, and 2010.
No. Every team that has had an 11-5 (or better) record has made the playoffs since the league went to the 4 team divisions in 2002. The correct answer is YES. The 2008 New England Patriots finished 11-5 and missed the playoffs. Miami won the division at 11-5 (finished ahead of NE based on better conference record - 8-4 to NE's 7-5). Beating out NE for the 2 wild card spots were the 12-4 Indianapolis Colts, and the 11-5 Baltimore Ravens. Ravens won tie breaker over NE based on better conference record - 8-4 to NE's 7-5.
