Best Answer

Seed means the position ranking for each NFL team that makes the playoffs. Six teams from the NFC and six from the AFC are ranked 1 - 6 seeds. Based on each teams record during the regular season or if they have won their division determines how high they are ranked/seeded. Winners of their divisions get the highest rankings 1-4 seeds and the last two teams with the best records over the other teams in each conference get the final two wild card seeds 5-6. The 1 and 2 seeds in each conference get the first week off from the playoffs while seed 3 plays seed 6 and seed 4 plays seed 5.
Seed is synonymous with rank. There are six seeds in each conference, corresponding to the top 6 ranked teams at the end of the regular season.
