Now, when the season is over, you can have the game automatically handle the promotion / relegation (based on your settings) or easily select the teams individually (for example if you have played an exhibition tournament to determine the teams).

And yes, the AI is aware about its situation in terms of its chances of promotion / relegation and acts accordingly.
