My suggestion from a previous thread. There really is no good counterpoint...
I've been in favor of annually realigning divisions based on the previous season's records. It makes sense. Leaving divisions as is without regard to performance is actually quite antiquated. True, you never know for sure how a team will perform the next season, but realigning the divisions makes just as much sense as leaving them the same, IMO.
With airplanes, travel isn't a big deal anymore. I'm working off of the assumption that divisions are made for balance and not simply geography.
Seed the teams based on records...
Division 1:
Team 1
Team 3
Team 5
Team 7
Team 10
Team 12
Team 14
Division 2:
Team 2
Team 4
Team 6
Team 8
Team 9
Team 11
Team 13
Done.
