The 2011 Raiders thread mentions "bandwagon fans". This Super Bowl matches the ultimate bandwagon fan teams. I just overheard two Packer fans chortling over yesterday's game, and one guy says, "this should be a great Super Bowl! The Steelers are my second favorite team!" and the second guy says, "me too!" 
Which is no surprise, as the only reason anyone who does not have ties to Wisconsin and western Pennsylvania becomes Packers and Steelers fans is because both teams have had historic success. The Steelers have won it more than any other team, and the Super Bowl trophy is named after the Packers coach.
My two favorite teams are the Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills, as I have historic ties to those areas. I respect the Bronco and Vikings fans in Miles City, as those are the two closest NFL cities. But Packers-Steelers? Bah.
The only bigger Bandwagon Bowl would be New England-Dallas.
