That variety is not due to all teams having an equal shot. The lack of variety in your statistic is due to the nature of football being dominated by great QBs, not by the nature of of revenue distribution. In baseball, it is vastly easier for the big-market teams (i.e. high revenue) to advance past the regular season than it is for the small-market (i.e. low revenue.) A larger variety in the teams advancing to the conference/league championship games is not in itself an indication that small-market teams have as much or more chance than the big-market teams.
