Make Pittsburg Tampa Bay to align with the NFC North teams and I'm good with it.

Updating based on feedback:

AFC East
NY Jets
Buffalo (open)
Jacksonville
Seattle>Cincinnati

AFC West
LA Chargers
LA Rams>Kansas City
San Francisco
Oakland (open)
Miami>Seattle (open)

NFC North
Chicago
Green Bay
Detroit
Indianapolis>Minnesota (open)

NFC East
Washington
NY Giants
Pittsburgh>can be PHI/NOS/TB (open)
Atlanta
Carolina (open)

Main change is the NFC North becomes the 4 team division and NFC East becomes a 5 team division with a mix of East & South teams. Plus I forgot Dean took the LA Rams and converted them into the Chiefs.

Only thing I don't like is having SF in the AFC in the same division as the Chiefs. Feels weird.

I just don't like having an NFC team in the AFC. Maybe rethink this? Perhaps use overall record and conference record to decide playoff seeding for each conference? And simply use the divisions to help drive SOS scheduling. This way new coaches don't have to play elite playoff coaches twice right away:

AFC Top Tier
NY Jets 14-2
LA Chargers 9-7
Seattle>Cincinnati 7-9
Jacksonville 5-11
LA Rams>Kansas City 3-13

AFC Lower Tier
Indianapolis (open)
Buffalo (open)
Oakland (open)
Miami (open)

NFC Top Tier
Chicago 13-3
Atlanta 9-7
Washington 8-8
San Francisco 8-8
Detroit 8-8

NFC Lower Tier
Green Bay 6-10
NY Giants 5-11
Carolina (open)
Pittsburgh>Tampa Bay (open)

Based on that logic, Steve, the entire AFC is a Low Tier accept for NYJ and LAC. HA! HEY YO!!!

Seriously, let's not over think this stuff too much. You can put me, Atlanta, anywhere on the board. If you want balance between human teams, it makes sense to have 3 human teams in each division. The 2 divisions of 5 may have a slight advantage with 4 games against CPU teams. However, hopefully, the schedule maker will try to balance that out by scheduling some extra CPU teams as non-division games for the 4 team divisions.

Let's just play and have fun. I'll see you in the playoffs... again!

Chicago is the Cardinals so an NFC East Team not an NFC North team

If you want to do atlittle moving for NFL like

New England (open) Need a hated team to beat up

As I posted I had a better way to fix NFC

NFC west 23-25
4.Atlanta 9-7
7.San Fran 8-8
9.Green Bay 6-10
New Orleans


NFC East26-22
2. Chicago 13-3
5. Washington 8-8
10 New York Giants 5-11
Dallas
Philadelphia

AFC East would be a mix but all non AFC west teams

AFC West is all AFC West except Detroit

NFC East is the old NFC East
NFC West Old NFC West Plus Green Bay

Detroit only team out of Confenerce and it pretty balanced Besides Chicago and Jets throwing things off.

Please keep it coming with these 3 things in mind.

#1 As little movement as possible (not looking to reshuffle the entire deck)
#2 SF is never moving from the NFC West
#3 Jets & Cardinals must be in different conferences.

The teams/names we fill in the open slots don't matter. But obviously we can make the 4 divisions look nicer with all the teams we have open and available.
Yet, Absolute NFL purity at this point does not matter.

Hoping to nail this down by the weekend and get this set so I can make a schedule.

I like my tier-based suggestion. Keep in mind the idea was based on letting conference record drive playoff seeding, not division record. It also made sure the better teams in each conference play each other twice.

If we are determined to keep division titles as an automatic playoff berth, I'd recommend the below. I'm going to be optimistic that someone will eventually join and take an AFC team, so I'm not moving any NFC teams to the AFC. Owned teams that move are in bold. I also named the divisions after retired great PNFL coaches so we would not be restricted to region associations anymore, just conference associations.

AFC Colacino
NY Jets 14-2
Seattle>Cincinnati 7-9
Pittsburgh (open)
Buffalo (open)

AFC Bryner
LA Chargers 9-7
Jacksonville 5-11
LA Rams>Kansas City 3-13
Indianapolis (open)
Oakland (open)

NFC Parkerson
Chicago 13-3
Washington 8-8
NY Giants 5-11
Carolina>Philly (open)

NFC DeVormer
Atlanta 9-7
San Francisco 8-8
Detroit 8-8
Green Bay 6-10
Miami>New Orleans/Seattle (open)[/quote]
