It's not a rival, per se, it's just one team you would play home-and-home. It wouldn't be the same team each year because, as you mentioned, the schedule only treats the teams as numbers as those numbers change for each franchise from year to year.
Once you get the first schedule built, it doesn't take nearly as long to make the other two versions to set up an interleague division rotation. You're really just doing a set of find-and-replace functions to move the team numbers around a bit in the schedule.

For some schedules that is the case, but in a 777 777 format, I dont think so.
Think about a smaller schedule, like 55 55 teams 1-5 in D1, 6-10 in d2, etc
So for week one, you need at least 1 IL game or conference games. You would need 4 teams in a division for two division games
so
1v2
3v4
5 has to play IL or 6-10
Lets make it easy and play all IL with the extra teams
s
1-2
3-4
6-7
8-9
11-12
13-14
16-17
18-19 (this leaves 5,10,15,20) lets use IL
5-15
10-20
So thats series 1 in year 1.
Series two
2-3
4-5
7-8
9-10
12-13
14-15
17-18
19-20 (leaves 1,6,11,15 for IL)
1-11
6-15
If you find and replace 6 with another team, what team? All the other teams are playing.
In his new plan of 888 888
You can have entire days of IL. So year 1 SL1D1 plays SL2D1
In year two, SL1D1 PLAYS SL2D2, you can just replace 25 with 33, and so on down the road.
Using a 777 777 makes that impossible.
