Im pulling for the Jets 100% (want a Ravens home game in the AFC Champ Game) but I dont think its going to happen. theres never been a 5 seed vs 6 seed Champ Game since they went to 12 teams in 1990.
A 5 seed made it to the NFC title game in 2006 (Panthers) but lost. The Giants were a 5 Seed in 2008 when they won the Super Bowl. The Jets were a 5 seed last year and lost.
A 6 seed made it to the AFC title in 2006 (Steelers) and won, the first time a 5/6 seed made it to the Super Bowl under the current 12 team playoff format (since 1990). 2009 saw both 6 seeds making it to their respective title games (Ravens and Eagles) and they both lost.
