How are the playoff matchups determined?
At the start of the playoffs, the top seeded team will play the lowest seeded team in the playoffs. The second highest seed will play the second lowest seed, and so on. In the event that a bye week is necessary (ie, there are not 2,4, or 8 playoff teams) as many teams as necessary to balance the playoff schedule will be given a bye during the first week of the playoffs. The bye will be awarded to the highest seeded teams. In subsequent weeks, teams will not be re-seeded and will advance through the brackets as displayed. In divisional, this will be based on divisional alignment until the final championship matchup.
