Updated through SB51.
NFL Network did a countdown of the Top 10 Super Bowls of all Time. Here's its list:
1. SB43 Steelers d. Cardinals
2. SB42 Giants d. Patriots
3. SB32 Broncos d. Packers
4. SB25 Giants d. Bills
5. SB38 Patriots d. Panthers
6. SB13 Steelers d. Cowboys
7. SB23 Niners d. Bengals
8. SB44 Saints d. Colts
9. SB36 Patriots d. Rams
10. SB3 Jets d. Colts
I did my own list, considering two components (1) the game result had to be within a touchdown (once the 2 point conversion was added, that bumps to 8 points) and (2) I looked for good teams, using the pythagorean+strength of schedule number that I used here. Some games had better finishes, but what I want are good teams playing close games - this is the list.
My List:
1. SB42 Giants 17 (3.3) Patriots 14 (20.1)
2. SB45 Packers 31 (10.9) Steelers 25 (10.2)
3. SB49 Patriots 28 (10.9) Seahawks 24 (9.5)
4. SB13 Steelers 35 (8.2) Cowboys 31 (11)
5. SB10 Steelers 21 (14.2) Cowboys 17 (4.1)
6. SB39 Patriots 24 (12.8) Eagles 21 (5.6)
7. SB36 Patriots 20 (4.3) Rams 17 (13.4)
8. SB32 Broncos 31 (10.7) Packers 24 (7.7)
9. SB 52 Eagles 41 (9.41) Patriots 33 (8.89)
10. SB 51 Patriots (9.3) Falcons (8.5)
