8
10
The two teams with the best records from the NFC and the AFC that didn't win their divisions still make the playoffs. These teams enter the playoffs as wild-card teams instead of division champions.
Every year, 8 teams qualify for the MLB playoffs. If you win your division, you make the playoffs.
12 teams make it into the mls playoffs
Each league has five teams make the Playoffs. Each league has its teams broken into three divisions. The winning team of each division makes the Playoffs. The Wild Card teams are the teams with the 2 best records in their league during the Regular season that did not win a division.
Originally it was 8 total, 3 division winners from each league as well as 1 Wild Card winner for each league. The Wild Card winner is the team from each league that has the best record that did not win a division. However starting with the 2012 Playoffs, an additional Wild Card winner from both leagues will be added into the Playoffs so now a total of 10 teams can make the Playoffs.
Two wild card teams make the playoffs in each conference making a total of four.
As of 2012's Postseason, 10 teams in total, 5 teams from each league will make the Postseason.
This is best answered in opposition to your question i.e. How do teams qualify for the playoffs? The 8 division winners and 2 wild card teams from each conference. Wild card teams are determined by the best overall winning percentage from the remaining (non division winning) teams.
