If the basis of the argument is that there is more interest in "do or die" games, then no, changing the schedule will not have an impact in this regard. Games are not "do or die" until the very end of the schedule when teams, well, have to win or they are out. In general, this is really only the final three or four games for a handful of teams. And that would not change in a 70 game season vs. 82.
