Ok, schedule’s in place. It’s the same as last year: “Everyone will play their first three divisional games during the first half of the season, most within the first five weeks. Everyone plays a divisional game in Week 1. In Weeks 8-11 there are no divisional games: everyone hits the road. Finally, the last three weeks are entirely intra-divisional.”
The only wrinkle is that I made sure that last year’s top two teams from each division play each other in the final week of the season. If anyone has any other neat little ideas let me know, but wholesale revamping is likely out of the question given the time required to make everything fit.
