You can claim the past NFL and AFL championships, but it doesnt compare to a superbowl where you are taking the best of both, after beating the best from each, and being the winner of that.

How many teams were in the AFL in 1962? And once the AFL started, how long until its talent level was close to the NFL? The first 2 SBs had teams from the AFL that were very good, but the league as a whole was not competitive. So NFL Championships were nothing at all like a conference champion. They were the only real measure of the best pro football teams.
