Because you have to have 12 team in your conference to hold a conference championship game. That is the reason Colorado and Utah join the PAC 10 next year so they can conference championship game. Go Bears!
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.
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.
yes if they are ranked 1 and 2 in the polls
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.
Tampa Bay lost to the St. Louis Rams 11-6 in the 1999 NFC Championship Game.
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.
48 i think
There are 32 games for each conference. Then when there are 16 teams left, they all play each other until there are 8 teams. Then the 8 teams play for the final 4. And then the final 4 play, and the final 2 play for the Championship.
it all depends on the seeding. This year the only way they would play each other is to win both playoff games and meet in the conference championship.
Indi and NY play on CBS at 3:00pm est Saints and Vikings play on FOX at 6:30pm est
No. The Super Bowl is designed to pit the champion of the AFC conference against the champion of the NFC conference. Two teams from the same conference cannot play in the Super Bowl.
