2 schedule changes that would make the NFL better IMHO

[Jplaya2023]

1. Instead of playing a single division in the opposite conference, you play the team(s) that finish in their division where you finished at the previous year. Meaning if you win your division, you would play the other 4 AFC division winners and vice versa down 1-4. So for example this year, you take the GB packers and you would have them play, the broncoes, pats, texans, and ravens.
Rodgers vs Brady, and Manning

2. Institute a universal bye week where all teams are off for the week. I would say week 9 right in the middle of the season. This would create a fairer playing field when it comes to days off a team has in comparison to another team before they line up and play. Since everyone plays thursday it won't be a big deal. Plus you can play that stupid london game in week 8 and they will take their by then. By doing this you could potentially have CFB schedule games on sunday on those networks (FOX, CBS and NBC) with marquee matchups to compensate for the loss of nfl. I think it would be cool to have for 1 week sunday CFB games. for example this year you could have florida play georgia, miami play florida st and nd playing someone on sunday on nbc as the games. CFB could also schedule marquee OOC matchups on this day as well.

1. For scheduling purposes it wouldn't work.

2. A week without NFL football

only way a universal bye week will work for me, if they move a couple of big time college football games to sunday

1. This would guarantee certain teams may never get to match up against another. The current system ensures every team plays eachother at least every 4 years.

2. A universal bye week? I don't know if that would be good or bad.
