Division winners are guaranteed a top 8 seed. The top 4 seeds have a first round bye. Reseeding doesn’t exist for future rounds. Of course key wins would change week to week depending on their opponent’s record and teams in the 12 team playoffs. Only wins against top 12 teams are considered key wins. Also head to head logic, eye test, SOR and SOR plays a role into the rankings.
Saints being a key win says everything about the quality of this system for the NFL
