Owners also awarded one of those extra games to CBS and one to NBC during a conference call on Tuesday.

Three-fourths of the 32 owners needed to approve the change.

The new format changes prior league practice in two ways:

• There will be a total of three wild-card teams per conference, up from two.

• The No. 2 seed in each conference will host the new No. 7 seed in the wild-card round, meaning that only the No. 1 seeds will have first-round byes.
