Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 1631534, member: 5685"] I like 18 if it is done right. For basketball you play everyone once and your primary rival twice. That is about as round robin as you can get outside of a 10 team or less conference. For football if you have 3 divisions it works out well. You have 5 division games and then cross division games. If you stay at 8 games total then you play the other division teams once every four years, twice in 8 years. If you go to 9 games, it becomes once every three years and twice in 6 years. With 10 games (certainly possible if there is a break away and 4 x 18) you play everyone twice over a 5 year period. The three division winners play for the conference title. Because of money there will never be a reduction to 10 team or less conferences ever again. It would be better for the game but that ship has sailed. [/QUOTE]
