So will you be reverting back to the old NFC vs. AFC format? (I hope! )
Speaking of 'special' games, there was the Chicago College All-Star Game which was a preseason game that featured the prior year's NFL champion against an All-Star squad of college players (including NFL draftees). This game ran from 1934 through 1976 (except for 1974; no game was played that year). There was also the Playoff Bowl which ran during the 1960-69 seasons and featured the second-place clubs in each division (1960-66) or the conference championship runners-up (1967-69).

Might be interesting to be able to recreate these sorts of 'special' games at some point...
