Baltimore knocks off Miami and Tennessee.  Philadelphia knocks off Minnesota and the NY Giants.

When was the last time both the AFC and NFC #6 playoff seeds knocked off both the #3 and #1 seeds in the same year?  I don't think it's ever been done.

No, they were a 6 seed.  So it has been done in the NFC.... but the AFC and NFC have never done it in the same year.

You can make things up, but they get changed back pretty quickly.

Profs at my college won't let us use it for papers. If I make it up and you change it, can't someone else change it back?

obviously i would never use it for a research paper, but for 99% of uses it is accurate.

Wikipedia has a lot of users who think it is their job to make sure it stays accurate.

I don't trust it for things that are controversial or political (e.g. history of the Israel-Palestine conflict) but find it is find for just facts (e.g. a list of NFL MVPs)

However,

http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=conf&season=2007-REG&split=Overall

each of the following won the division:

Dallas Cowboys      
Green Bay Packers    
Seattle Seahawks        
Tampa Bay Buccaneers    

New York Giants  10-6     
Washington Redskins 9-7

Giants had the better record and got the 5 seed.
