What Super Bowl Matchup Is the Best?

Championship weekend is upon us and every fan can't not look forward to the potential matchups and storylines that all four potential matchups pose. So here are the four matchups ranked from four to one. The rankings are based on the hype and storylines that would the most intriguing.

4. Jets-Saints
This matchup would not have as much star power and members of each team are almost unknown to the casual fan. This could be the breakout game for many young stars especially Mark Sanchez, but it would not the ratings and the hype that the other matchups could get.
3. Jets-Vikings
The only storyline coming in to this potential matchup will be Brett Favre against his old team and how the Jets, led by a rookie coach and rookie quarterback made it to the Super Bowl without him and by the third day of Super Bowl hype everyone will be sick of talking about Brett Favre.
2. Colts-Saints
This matchup has been anticipated all season because of the undefeated starts both teams had. The star power is there with both Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, and that would be the main storyline but there could be many other side topics like how Peyton's father, Archie, was the Saints' quarterback during the days in which they were affectionately known as the 'Aints.
1. Colts-Vikings
Peyton Manning vs. Brett Favre. That is all you have to say about this matchup. The two greatest quarterbacks of the past decade in a showdown of future hall of famers. There is no way in the world that Roger Goodell and the NFL brass are not rooting for this matchup. The ratings would be through the roof and could provide a shootout that the Super Bowl rarely sees.
