Re: 18 game schedule coming...What would you like to see the new format be?
to the scheduling question.
I like the idea of an interconference rivalry. It works best with a 17 game system, but could work with an 18 game as well. Simply put:
Same rotational scheduling as used now.
In addition, each team is paired, as logically as possible to a team in the other conference, and plays a home and away game with them.
...hence we would pair with baltimore, dallas with houston, nyj with nyg, etc.
The biggest problem is the one time every 4 years when you would normally cycle through them, so when NFC East plays the AFC North, we would be scheduled for 3 games with the ravens (ugh). Some logical replacement game would have to be figured out, maybe where you play 1 opposing conference team in your position from another division.
