Yes I find it a bit confusing too. I did a similar setup as you, except 6 teams x 2 divisions instead of conferences. It seems as though 4 teams per division and 4 teams per division + reseeding do the same thing. But in two test leagues, I found I got the desired result you're seeking, but in both cases it was 1st vs. 3rd and 2nd vs. 4th. I wonder if there is a way to customize playoff matchups: Strictly by division (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3), by conference seeding (as the NHL did before the current format) or the current NHL format with x teams per division and y wildcards.
