Every year we play the same teams in the same order. Is there a way we can randomize the schedule each year? It would be nice to mix it up a little.

EFS is great and this would be another simple inhancement. Afterall we all know the Broncos will play the Chiefs twice a year, but it's not always in weeks 4 and 13 (for example)...

Good idea.

I've also come up with a "stength of schedule" idea which might work into this. The "strength of schedule" idea is: 2 extra non-divisional games are added (creating two more double-game weeks) to each team's schedule based on how you finished the season before -- top (playoff) teams play tougher teams in those 2 additional games, while the worst teams play easier teams...

The tough part about this idea is creating a programmatic formula that will easily, instantly pick out the 2 new games per team. i came up with one a few months ago and will need to find my notes in order to proceed.
