All the Super Bowl is is the NFL Championship game. To say it is anything different is just being ignorant.

Those were two different eras (before and after the merger) with different league make-ups in terms of teams. Heck it was actually called originally the AFL-NFL Championship game (later changed to Super Bowl). The Super Bowl represents the championship title of both leagues that merged and not just the one that it used to be. The AFL merging with the NFL was a huge event that completely changed the NFL from the league it was before to the one it is today so considering it to be a completely different league with its own championship doesn't seem all that bizzare.
