Have both number 1 seeds ever met in the Super Bowl?

Answer 1

yes --I am going thru Super Bowl Stats right now and creating a spreadsheet and so far Super Bowl 1 Green Bay v KC, SB6 DAL v MIA, and SB7 MIA v WAS-these teams were #1 seeds. It's a little tricky figuring it out with AFL, but they had playoffs too.

NFL didn't reward the #1 seed with home-field advantage or a Bye until later, so I guess we go by records and head-to-head tie breakers to determine who is SEED 1-4, because the League didn't do it. Super Bowl 9 is a great example for the NFC. 1974 Season had 4 teams in the NFC with a 10-4 record---2 teams in East: STL Cardinals#1, WAS Redskins#2; MIN Vkings and LA Rams were also 10-4 in their divisions.

So one would have to look at head-to-head matchups between these teams to get the true number.
