Where does that put us on the all time list for best franchises? Behind the Steelers? Behind Dallas? Ahead of the Packers? Below is a list of the current top five teams with the Superbowl record. Where do we stand if we end up 5-1 all time?

1. Steelers - 6-2
2. 49ers - 5-0
3. Cowboys - 5-3
4. Packers - 4-1
5. Giants - 3-1

Another good questions is do appearences mean more than wins? As of now we can say we are undeafeated which could argueably put us ahead of Pittsburgh and Dallas. We won't be able to make that arguement with a loss.

Discuss.

How would 5-1 put us behind Dallas at 5-3?

No negativity, just a chance for a good dicussion.

But for the sake of arugemement we can also talk about if we win. Where will that put us? Is 6-0 better than 6-2?

In terms of Superbowl appearences it would. Would Dallas fans have a vaild point saying they are the better franchise because they've gone more than we have?

This...someone posted something similar on the WZ a few years ago: The 49ers do not go to Super Bowls and lose.

Because they have lost more than we have?!!!! In that case why aren't they already ahead of us?

C'mon now, you know that arguement can be made. It would be no different than the arguement made on this board if the records were reversed.

They very well could be. The list above isn't official, its just as subjective as power rankings.
