I remember when they did 1-16, 2-15, etc for a couple years...there were some crazy match ups a couple times.

But the travel schedules aren't that much easier. Not when you account for the Wild Card teams, which is half of the playoff series. I'd guess that in the 1-8 system about half were inter division travel already, so not much has likely changed.
