I like the idea of staying with your rivals, but I don't think it's working out all that well, at least at the start of leagues.
There's not much fun being in a league with 2-4 whales and no chance of having the best record, or anything beyond a wild card berth.
Playoffs are a crapshoot, so yeah, even a weaker team is going to win fairly often, but over the course of a full season, those whales are going to rake and everyone else is left with the scraps.
If you're a good, but not great team, you'll keep moving up and being stuck behind the same guys over and over.
If you guys tweak the algorithm next year so that the whales are more likely to be put in leagues with each other (place teams in leagues based on total card points on the active roster or something similar...rather than all the promotions being randomly assigned), I think that would do a lot to fix the issue and make me like the idea of rivalries a lot more fun.
