Seeding is the practice of setting up a tournament so that the best teams (those thought to have the best chance of winning the title) are matched against the supposedly weakest in the first round. The teams considered best are the "top-seeded" ones. This way, theoretically, the top teams don't play each other until the semi-finals or finals. Sometimes, however, a team expected to get picked off in the first round surprises everyone and lasts through several rounds, maybe even to win.

Your positioning in the playoffs. In terms of football, the 3rd seed is the team with the third best record in the conference during the regular season. It means they will get home field for the first game of the playoffs, but none after and it means they would play the 6th seed in the first round, the second seed in the 2nd round and either the 1st, 4th, or 5th seed in the Conference Championship.

During the regular season, the NFL Playoff Race Bracket and Seeds reflect how the playoffs would stand if the season ended up to that point. The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor. There are no restrictions on intra-division games and the higher seed of any matchup will have home-field advantage.

The term seed means something like a ranking, usually in a tournament. For example, Geelong is a "1 seed" meaning that they are ranked first in their bracket and get to play the "8 seed" Adelaide. The origin of the term means that the teams are "planted" in the bracket as a certain rank, thus the term seed.
