re: 10 game conference schedule

I'd prefer an 8 game conference schedule with 4 pod 16 team leagues.

You'd get up to two more conference games as the division winners played each other and have the scheduling flexibility to play real teams out of conference

You'd also be able to play every team in the conference home and away at least once every six years. Even if you went to 10 conference games you'd take longer to do that with 8 team divisions and one fixed opposite division opponent.
