NFL Approves Schedule Setup when Houston joins the League in 2002

This is pretty easy to follow, much easier formula then years past.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Each team will play six games within its division
<LI>four games against another division within its conference
<LI>four games against a division in the opposite conference
<LI>two games within the conference based on the previous year's standings</UL>

The last point is interesting, if you finish first in the AFC West you play all the other first place teams in the AFC, if you finish in second then you play all the second place teams in teh AFC and so on.

Now if they would just tell us who was in what division...

They say that they hope to have realignment settled by next March.
