last undefeated team, this decade

2010: Chiefs ?-0, ?
2009: Colts 14-0, Lost in Super Bowl
2008: Titans 10-0, Lost in Divisional Round
2007: Patriots 18-0, Lost in Super Bowl
2006: Colts 10-0, Won Super Bowl
2005: Colts 13-0, Lost in Divisional Round
2004: Eagles 7-0, Lost in Super Bowl
2003: Chiefs 9-0, Lost in Divisional Round
2002: Raiders 4-0, Lost in Super Bowl
2001: Rams 6-0, Lost in Super Bowl

There you have it.

9/9 of the last undefeated teams have made the playoffs
6/9 have made the Super Bowl
1/9 has won the Super Bowl

I can't wait to watch the Chiefs lose in the Divisional Round.

I'm actually quite surprised that the Super Bowl stats held up, even for teams that only reached 7-0 or less. And it's surprising how in the first part of the decade, reaching 9-0 was something special. And unless the Chiefs shock the world, including myself, we won't have a team be 10-0 for the first time since 2004.
