Yup.
So as T99 says, only 1 team with a bye, you can't have 3 teams with a bye because then the top team get two weeks of a bye.
As a Seahawks fan I full well know the advantage to homefield in the playoffs, but the difference in calibre of teams between a 2 seed and 7 seed in pretty large over the season, and in a one game playoff, certainly devalues that advantage of winning 4 or more games over your opponent.
