12 teams - 2 divisions, 6 teams each. 26 games vs each division rival, 4 games vs other teams.
14 teams - 2 divisions, 7 teams each. 14 games vs each division rival, 10 games vs other teams.
16 teams - 2 divisions, 8 teams each. No inter-divisional games. 22 games vs each division rival.
For the sixteen-team leagues, can't you do 14 games against divisional opponents and 7 games against non-divisional opponents? Or does that odd number of non-divisional games violate your symmetry condition?

Also, how many schedules have you made for each configuration? I need to know that for when I put these in the master list.
