My understanding is that only the top team in each conference will get a bye week.

Yes, only 1 team gets a bye making the overall record and #1 seed in each division an even bigger deal. I think the #1 seed should get an advantage over everyone else so have no issues with the change and #2 seed has to play week #1 with 5 other teams.
