Here are my proposals:
With the 8 divisions "NFL" system:
Other conference 16 x 2 = 32 games
Other divisions 12 x 3 = 36 games
Same division 3 x 4 = 12 games
-----------------------------------------
Total = 80 games + add 2 games within same division
4 divisions (current alignment)
Other conference 16 x 2 = 32
Other divisions 8 x 3 = 24
Same division 7 x 4 = 28
----------------------------------
Total = 84 games (cut 2 games somewhere, probably from same division)
My proposal (Just 2 conferences, no divisions, every team plays everyone about the same number of games, more balanced schedule, supposedly more fair as there no longer will be "weak" divisions anymore)
Other conference 16 x 2 = 32
Same conference 15 x 3 = 50
---------------------------------
Total = 82 games
