How do you count “winning it all”?

We count the top championship named for the selected competition—not conference, division, playoff appearance, or consolation titles. Season labels stay separate from the date the trophy was actually clinched.

  • NFL defaults to Super Bowls; pre-Super Bowl league titles are identified separately when included.
  • Relocations follow the franchise unless a league’s official record book separates the history.
  • FBS selectors, split titles, claims, vacancies, and co-champions are labeled rather than flattened.

Overall season champion: Super Bowl winner from the 1966 season onward, plus NFL/AFL champions before the Super Bowl existed. A 1966–69 NFL/AFL league-final win that was followed by a Super Bowl loss is not treated as “won it all.” The archive includes every recognized title attributed to the current franchise under this policy.
