Why would you think there are more than 4 QUARTERS? I mean, that's the reason they are called quarters, because there are 4 of them to make a whole. OT is just additional time to settle a winner.
And how in Gods name can it be called a "world championship"? No-one else in the world plays American football! Having "World" in the title indicated that more than just America is firstly involved with the sport, and secondly actually plays in the sport.
If we called the winners of the Premiership "World Champions", then we'd be murdered in our beds!

Because football is played elsewhere, but only in America is anyone any good.
IMO, as long as the NFL allows teams to be started outside America (which I have no idea if it would), then it can be a world championship, as the American exclusiveness is not the fault of the tournament organizers. To the extent of my knowledge, though, there are no proffessional American football teams outside of America, so there really isn't anyone who could claim to be snubbed by the declaration to be world champions.
America is the world duh. Everyone else is just living in America's world.
Personally I think it's pretty stupid that the winner of the superbowl is called the world champion, as good as they might be, you can't call yourself a world champion unless you're facing other people in the world. It doesn't make logical sense.
