Best Answer

There are 6 "seeds", or seats, for each of the 2 conferences 4 divisions (north, south, east, west) for each of the 2 conferences. The first 4 seeds are the teams in first place for each division. The other 2 seeds (to make up the 6) are the wildcards. They are the next to teams with the best records regardless of their divisions. They could both even be from the same division which would mean that as many as 3 teams from 1 division could make the playoffs. And it could mean that a wildcard team could have a better record than 1 of the first 4 division leaders. For example, if the winner of the north has a 10-6 record and the second place team in the east is 11-5, the team with the 10-6 record has the higher seed because they lead their division.
