Thinking ahead here, Should we set up a structure where future league schedules are determined by the previous year's finish? This would only effect the inter-division matchups. This year it was randomly determined by ESPN, but what about future years?
Possible scenarios:
1) Bottom 3 from each division play bottom three from other division while top three play the top three. Presumably this would be a way to force league parity by making the playoff teams play each other during interdivision.
2) #6 plays 5, 6, 1
#5 plays 4, 5, 6
#4 plays 3, 4, 5
#3 plays 2, 3, 4
#2 plays 1, 2, 3
#1 plays 6, 1, 2
This plan would give a small benefit in the next year for winning the division the previous year in that you get to take on the last place team in the other division. Each other team would play the teams that finished closest to them in the other division during interdivision.
#3) a rotation . . . the three teams you didn't play last year you will play the next year with those matchups for the first year having been randomly determined by ESPN.
If any of you have any other ideas I would appreciate you posting them and discussing these ideas as well . . . we have a year to decide on this one so we will go with what people like best.
