If we did 3 division I guess we could have a balance schedule.

Each team plays intradivision teams twice (6)
Each team plays interdivision teams once (8)
---- Which make 14 games. A 6 team playoff would stretch in to week 17.

Are there other benefits to setting up divisions?


Another option would be to set up 4 three team divisions.
Each team plays intradivision teams twice (4)
Each team plays interdivision teams once (9)
---- Which make 13 games. A 6 team playoff would stretch in to week 16.

We could do either. <b>If we did the first, we just eliminate one game. </b>

I'm in the Super Bowl in one of my leagues. It has a week 17 super bowl. I would not have made the playoffs if we didn't have a 14 week schedule. And I STILL think a week 17 super bowl is a terrible idea. I made the playoffs in large part because of Aaron Rodgers. He probably isn't going to play much this weekend. I am desperately searching for average guys on shitty teams who will play this weekend. It's no way to determine a champion.

Just curious, what's the point of doing divisions if you don't end up with a balanced schedule?

It changes the competition. You might suck, but if your division sucks you can still make the playoffs, just like the NFL. You might be really good, but if your division is good, you might not make the playoffs, just like the NFL.
