When was the last time the two top seeded teams played the super bowl?

Answer 1

Prior to Super Bowl XLIV, the last Super Bowl that had two teams with the best record in the entire NFL was Super Bowl XXVIII when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Buffalo Bills, both of whom were 12-4. The Houston Oilers were also 12-4 that season.

When the Colts and Saints play in Super Bowl XLIV, it will be the first time since SB XXVIII that this has happened. The Colts have the best record at 14-2 and the Saints are 13-3. The Chargers also went 13-3 in the 2009 season.

Ten times in Super Bowl History have the two best record teams have played in the Super Bowl:
