The Seattle Seahawks captured Super Bowl LX with a convincing 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. This triumph marked the franchise's place in NFL history as the 60th Super Bowl champion. ESPN's Aaron Schatz has ranked all 60 champions using his proprietary DVOA ratings system, which evaluates team efficiency adjusted for situation and opponent strength throughout the season.

Some champions dominated from start to finish, while others needed improbable playoff runs to earn their Lombardi Trophies. Teams like the 1970 Baltimore Colts and 2011 Giants appear near the bottom of the rankings despite winning championships. Schatz's methodology provides context beyond just wins and losses, considering regular season performance against strength of schedule and postseason performance.

The Seahawks' ranking among these 60 elite teams will be determined by their regular season performance and playoff dominance. Their 29-point victory in the Super Bowl suggests a strong position in the rankings, though they'll be compared to teams with more dominant regular seasons or more challenging playoff paths. The final ranking reveals where Seattle stands in NFL history.
