Sadly, due to a copyright claim from the fair-use-challenged NFL, I had to remove a short segment at the 2:35 mark following the #9 entry where I quickly discuss the 2018 Chiefs, particularly Dee Ford's inability to line up correctly. It jumps straight to the 49ers portion. Hopefully it's not too jarring. Long live our mighty overlords and our god-creator himself, Roger Goodell!
People do not properly understand how out of nowhere the St. Louis Rams got good. In the season before they won it all, you could park your car in downtown, and come out to find season tickets put under your windshield. They were that bad.
Watching you play the primetime music, using the helmets to represent the teams while dialoguing like Chris Berman gives me huge NFL 2k5 memories in anniversary mode
My Favorite Unlikely SuperBowl Matchup is: SuperBowl 45 The Green Bay Packers; My Favorite Team vs The Pittsburgh Steelers at AT&T Stadium; Home of the Dallas Cowboys and the Packers are Still Undefeated There
The fact that some of the games was close just shows how close the teams usually are. More so in modern times with the salary cap. Any given sunday and in this case any given Super Bowl.
9:00 -- YES!! The Ravens ARE the former Cleveland Browns, with the current Cleveland team being an expansion team in 1999... NO MATTER WHAT THE NFL TRIES TO TELL YOU!!!
@@tygrkhat4087 .. Haha! You're joking. Right? 😁 The Browns moved intact to Baltimore in 1996. History isn't arbitrary; history is based on FACT, not emotion. You're obviously an Obama, Hillary, & Biden voter! I can tell, because Dems like to change history.
@@dbzfan667 .. No, Unitas was! 😀 But the Balt./Indy Colts are the very same team. BYW - The Tennessee Titans' history goes back to 1960 as the Houston Oilers. SAME team but moved to another city, changing the name.
@@dobe46Get real. That Bears team stood no chance against the Steelers. The only reason the Steelers even lost was because they didn't have Maurkice Pouncey to protect Big Ben.
Green Bay was a talented team and better than the sixth seed. They just had injuries and underperformed at times. Besides, that game was a historical matchup between arguably the two most franchises in NFL history.
@dobe46 what are you smoking? GB was littered with injuries. I don’t even want to hear how Chicago had a 3rd string QB, he literally played better than the first string and the Bears have never had a good QB to begin with
Wouldn't using C-Score differential be better than using combined C-Score between the 2 teams? Like instead of the Chiefs & 49ers having a combined C-Score of 7.793, they'd have a C-Score differential of 37.061 which is a huge gap. Really good video, just thought that middle number stood out a bit when comparing the gap between teams. Or maybe that's just an idea for a different video, and not necessarily "unlikely" by comparing 2 really different opponents 😅
I like this video, very unique. My one problem is I think you could’ve done a little better and more in depth explaining how many of the teams who did bad the previous season turned it around. I understand that brevity is important but I think that’s make my problem more of a compliment l. I wanted to see more
Would it really be that "unlikely" for NYJ to make it though? Based on C score yeah but if Rodgers plays like Rodgers it wouldn't be too "unlikely" for NYJ to make the superbowl this year even though their C score last year was low
Here I thought this was going to be unlikeliest matchups based upon how bad each team has been in the Super Bowl Era. You know.. Browns, Jags, Texans etc actually making it.
Would love to see one of those three against Detroit. It’ll be our only chance to see two new teams in it. Well, those of us who weren’t alive or watching in 1981 during Super Bowl XVI.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't include SB 55, with the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs were coming off a banner year, making their first SB win in 50 years, while the Bucs were suffering the previous season, with not even making the playoffs with a 7-9 record. Now, coming into the 2020 season, the Chiefs were looking to become the 1st team in 16 years to win back-to-back championships, but the Bucs were coming in with a coup-de-tat in signing former Patriot's QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski. During the course of the regular season, the Chiefs proved they were going to end up in the top of the AFC Post Season, and after defeating the Buffalo Bills they would advance to the Superbowl. The surprise for the NFC? The Bucs had been on a winning streak since losing to the Chiefs before their Bye Week, and were entering the Post Season as the #5 seed. Statistically they shouldn't have done well, but under Coach Arians and Brady's leadership, the Bucs became only one of a few teams who won three consecutive road Playoff Games (vs. Washington in hte Wild Card, New Orleans in the Divisional, and against Green Bay in the Conference Rounds) on their way to becoming the FIRST ever Home Team to host the Super Bowl in their home stadium. In Super Bowl 55, the odds makers were giving the Chiefs all the confidence to become Repeat Champs. Stating that the Chiefs with QB Patrick Mahomes, WR Tyreek Hill, TE Travis Kelce and their dominant offense would put the Buccaneers young Defense to the test, even while having Brady, Gronkowski, and other stars like WR Mike Evans and RB Lennard Fornette, which were proving just as good in the lead up before the championship game. What happened was a shocker, as the Chiefs could barely get any offense or scores throughout the game -- only managing 9 points off of K Harrison Butker's 3 FGs -- and Mahomes was harassed by the Bucs Defense for the majority of the game. The Bucs on the other hand, scored 31 points off of TDs scored by Gronkowski, WR Antonio Brown, and RB Leonard Fornette, with FGs by K Ryan Succup. With this victory, the Buccaneers became not only the 1st NFL Team to Win the Super Bowl in their own home stadium, but they joined the Baltimore Ravens in holding a perfect W record in multiple Super Bowls played.
I don't know that I agree with this method of determining unlikeliness. I think looking at the previous year is a bit arbitrary, and instead it would make more sense to look at what the expectations for the team were at the start of the season.
@@JVPlayz96 That's a fair assessment. Couple of major differences though: BPI and FPI include "preseason numbers" so to speak. Stuff that's cooked into the ratings beforehand. The other difference is that they claim their rankings are predictive. C-Score makes no such promise. It's purely evaluative.
@@cccproductions2019 Is it really? BPI is used for the NCAA tournament once the regular season and conference tournaments are completed (on ESPN in the Bracketology) so I kinda doubt those numbers are calculated based off preseason metrics because there are teams that are in the top 25 BPI in the preseason that won't even make the tournament (every so often). I think you're thinking of the preseason BPI that's used based on what the teams are expected to be during the season.
When I saw the starting clips of Bills/Cowboys (just a clip, not on list), I almost shat myself to insult your 'semi-mysterious' C-score. But yet again it proved out. He didn't say the teams didn't deserve or didn't earn the right to be in the big game he said UNLIKELIST match up. Example (I think): (Last year's/This year's) Panthers vs. (Last year's/This year's) Patriots playing in the next SB witch would be highly unlikely. CCC just figured out how to seemingly quantify and qualify.
No, it wasn't. Rams Bengals had a 36.9 rating, the lowest ever. TB KC , the year before was also under 40, the first time since SBV. All other SBs from VI through today were 40 and over, with the 1st Niners Bengals SB being the highest rated.
I know the Bengals came from a horrible 1987 season to reach Super Bowl 23 before losing in heartbreaking fashion to the 49ers, though the latter team was still playing at a high level the season before, upset loss to the Vikings notwithstanding. The Commanders went from missing the playoffs multiple years running to win Super Bowl 17, though the "Woodstrock" Dolphins maintained a high level of play and nearly rallied to beat the Chargers in Miami the season before. Carolina also went from a losing season to reach Super Bowl 50 only to fall to the Von Miller led Broncos defense. The Eagles came from a post Andy Reid drought to upset the Patriots in Super Bowl 52. Finally, the Jets have a chance if Aaron Rodgers stays healthy and the Falcons would need Kirk Cousins to shed his postseason woes for the unlikely Super Bowl 59 matchup.
2002 Eagles is so overrated, like looking back at it Tampa was just the better team. They currently got 4 Hall of famers on that defense for a reason and possibly 5 hall of famers all if Simeon rice gets in. Also after the 2001 season Tampa Bay realize they needed more help on the offense to take pressure off keyshawn Johnson they went out and got Keenan McCardell Jo jeravicus. The eagles stayed pat thinking they could win a Super bowl with James trash and Todd pinkston as starting receivers. Looking back at it they were naive and foolish to think so. I remember after the 2001 season ended and the Eagles lost in the NFC championship Game to the Rams. During Free agency when the Jacksonville released Keenan McCardell. I remember saying the Eagles should go after him and Jo jeravicus to bolster the receiving core. About time the NFC championship game came against Tampa Bay came, I was not confident that they was going to win that game. Especially the way Tampa Bay's defense was playing in the playoffs. I also watched a Tampa Bay NFL's America's game about the 2002 buccaneers. Warren Sapp said something he said after the regular season loss to the Eagles during the 2002 season he was mad on the bus leaving veterans stadium. John saw that Sapp was mad. John gruden told him on the bus hey they're not going to get us again, and warren sapp said they better not and jon gruden said they're not. I know what they're doing i got all their blitzes such and such if we see they them again were going to stick a fork in the middle of veterans stadium and that's exactly what he did.

You should do the worst seasons ever following a superbowl appearance (regardless of SB win or loss)

Super Bowl 56 was kind of crazy bengals make the superbowl for the first time in 30+ years
Now imagine if the 49ers had made it 2 years ago. The top two most unexpected Super Bowls would have been 49ers Bengals
ATL and the NYJ , barring major injuries to key players, can absolutely make this list this year.

I think Dallas vs Denver in SB XII was an unlikely matchup
'77 both 12-2 '78: Cowboys 12-4, Broncos 10-6...the match up seemed likely to me, the outcome wasn't.
Atlanta should've won that game. Coaches screwed it up.
trust me, everyone outside the NE area was rooting for ATL to win that game
The more you start to realize the math didn't add up with Patriots success when Brady was there kinda tells you all that there is to know
The patriots and Atlanta was the first Superbowl that came to mind lol smfh
I didn’t watch the end yet but my guess for #1 is the titans vs rams in superbowl 34
Close
Greatest ending ever!
Calling it now: Falcons vs Jets
Superbowl 46 where the 9-7 Giants beat the 13-3 patriots better be on here. Or Superbowl 42 where the 10-6 giants beat the 16-0 patriots.
The problem is it's based on an actual scoring metric, and the Patriot's score in 2006 would have been too high.
Will you ever tell us how to calculate C-score or is it a trade secret?
Little bit of a trade secret. Maybe puts a touch of value on the brand or keeps the mystery a little alive.
