Has nothing to do with it. How many times over the past 50years has one conference had a weak field? Regardless, if you arent able to play and beat the best, how can you say its a true champion?
Playing 12 games and 1 championship game is completely different than playing a full schedule, a full playoffs, and winning the big game.
Good for you that you had several championships prior to the NFL as it is today, but we dont count AFL championships, why would we count pre merger "nfl" championships with the actual NFL Championships? You dont count championships from pre 1903 world series towards the overal total MLB Championships
