The NFL playoff bracket is ever-changing, evolving as the postseason moves along. Both No. 1 seeds, one in each conference, earn a bye week to begin their playoff schedule. It's a departure from the old format, where the top two seeds were awarded bye weeks.

Kenny Dillingham's Arizona State Sun Devils head into his third season in a position that is new to them as they surprisingly captured a Big 12 title after being predicted to finish last. They won the conference title with a 45-19 win over Iowa State in Dallas and a rematch against the Cyclones is the marquee matchup on the schedule released by the conference office on Tuesday.
