its an interesting idea, that deserves a look...
though, i guess it depends on whether playing the divisional rivals more than others is appealing to people... its beneficial in that there is less travel for your team (and lowered operational costs for the owners)...
i definitely like the playoffs to be more aligned with a 1-8 eight strategy and the idea of having division winners + 4 wild cards would ensure the best teams get in
getting to 32 teams does open the door to some tinkering with the scheduling and playoff format tho
