5 makes sense. Winning one of these divisions makes a team more than worthy to make the playoffs. Adding one wildcard in each league against the worst division winner is very deserving as well. This way only the best teams are in the playoffs competing for a title. Makes the regular season relevant.
Is the schedule 23 to 24 games only against your division only? Talk about building rivalries. This would eliminate the weaker schedule argument as well only the best team in the division moves on.
Love it!
