Yes, I'm waiting to get feedback on the schedule options. To be honest I'm still leaning toward divisions because I think it will create rivalries. I'm gonna mess around with the schedule and see how that would work.
Maybe but will also create an imbalance in schedules. You’re a bit stuffed if you end up in a strong division?

Is it not possible to do divisions but also do the w1/w13 thing?

I mean, theres still 2 wild card spots and things still go in cycles. Plus you can focus on timing more too. Like if your division rivals are aging you might try and load up to take over as soon as they slip like in the real nfl.

Next poll should be who had the best draft. I’m not sure overall, but @altodevil had the best first 2 rounds. Taking Hopkins and still getting David Johnson at 19 who might end up a top-5 RB was a coup.

I wanted him at 14 but by the time my next pick rolled around there would’ve been over a dozen WRs gone.
I think that was quite lucky too, although would have been happy with Gordon also.

I like your team a lot personally, can see you winning early-on.

@Eboue Option 1 for me.

I don't mind divisions either, but would prefer 3. With 3 winners + 3 highest scorers outside play-offs getting the postseason spots.

Main reason I don't like 4 divisions is because a good team could be screwed out of the playoffs due to 2 great division foes. Would only work with highest-scoring wildcard spots.

Theres 2 wild card spots so if the team is good enough they could have all 3 teams in 1 division make it
That's fine with me then. Only a slight chance of a bum division stealing an undeserved spot.

Instead of 4 divisions of 3, couldn't we have 3 divisions of 4? Top 2 records get a bye week in the opening round of the playoffs. If we go with option #2 that is.

Wouldnt work for the schedule. The point of 4 divisions of 3 is a "balanced" schedule.
3 divisions of 4 teams. 13 week regular season. You play every other team in the league once. For weeks 12 and 13 you play someone in your own division another time. 6 team playoffs with 3 division winners and 3 wild cards. Top 2 seeds get opening byes in playoffs. Simples.

That's even less balanced.

Idea:

3 divisions of 4.
Play everyone once (W1-W11)
W12 and W13 you play the team in the other two divisions which, as at after W11, was in the same position as you e.g 1vs1, 2vs2 etc.

Not sure this really harbours a sense of division rivalry etc.

While I'm in favor of 3 divisions of 4 teams, don't think this idea is very fair or practical at all.

If we gonna go down division road, I think Eboue’s original suggestion is best.

We should actually map where everyone is based and genuinely create the divisions based on locations, that would be realistic :lol:
