Each conference has four divisions. The teams with the best regular season record in their respective divisions get an automatic bid and are ranked 1-4 accordingly. Then of the remaining teams, the two with the best records in each conference are the wild cards and they are ranked 5 and 6 accordingly. It does not matter if the wild card team's record is better than a division winner's record; they are still ranked lower. This gives a total of 12 teams, six from the AFC and six from the NFC. The 1 and 2 teams in each conference receive a bye and jump to the next round with home field advantage. In the wild card round, the 3 seed plays the 6 seed and the four seed plays the 5 seed in each conference, the higher seed getting home filed advantage. In the following round, the 1 seed plays the lowest seed remaining and the 2 seed plays the other winner from the first round. The third round are the conference championships where the final two teams from each conference play, the higher seed getting home field advantage, and the winner being crowned conference champion. Finally the two conference champions play in the Superbowl, in which home field alternates each year.
