2000 - Vikings 7-0
2001 - Rams 6-0
2002 - Raiders 4-0
2003 - Chiefs 9-0
2004 - Eagles 7-0
2005 - Colts 13-0
2006 - Colts 9-0
2007 - Patriots 16-0
2008 - Titans 10-0
2009 - Colts 14-0
2010 - Chiefs 3-0
Every one of those teams made the playoffs. 6 of the previous 10 made it to the Super Bowl. 7 of the 10 were the #1 seed in their conference playoffs.
Every one of them at least had a first round bye in the playoffs EXCEPT the 2006 Colts. Which is ironic because they're the only team on that list to win a Super Bowl.

ESPN was kind enough to note that the last time a team was the last undefeated standing at 3-0 they didn't make the playoffs.
