Ranking the Pats Super Bowl journeys
 
I just put together a spreadsheet which ranks the Pats Super Bowl journeys based on their opponenets' Win-Loss records. The opponents are from the Divisional round through Super Bowl (no wild card).

Here are the results

The record for the Giants opponents during their run is 42-6 (again, not including wild card)

Either "Games Behind" or "Green Bay." I'm not really sure. ;)

I agree with your rankings.

I'm not sure any team would have a stronger road to plow than 2004. The 14-2 Colts (Peyton's then-record year), the 15-1 Steelers (who beat us to end the 21 game streak earlier in the year) and then the clearly best team in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles.

To me, that Patriots team is the one that comes closest to the domination of this year's team.

Actually, as someone noted above, the Giants road to the SB this season is (statistically) more difficult, at least if you look at games from the divisional round on:

Dallas (13-3)
GB (13-3)
NE (16-0)
Combined: 42-6

In fact, the Patriots stretch in 2004 was the most difficult road to the SB ever, so the Giants now take the cake in that department (though their WC win over TB hurts their cause when looking at the entire playoffs).

The spreadsheet lists those Colts as 12-4, but I thought it was better than that.

I recall that our Super Bowl run that Eagles year set the record for exactly this, and the record probably still stands.
