What I should have realized was that Dave's answer was very clear.
His final sentence:

                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
So each conference is still guaranteed 2 teams.  It's just that the
second team would be chosen by the same criteria that are used to
select any of the at-large teams - same as before.
 
Thanks, Dave, for pointing this out.
