Games against outside league

In a past version of OOTP, (I believe 10) I created a version of an NCAA style league where each conference was it's own league. I did this in order to get the more prominent conferences higher PCM's in an effort to get more MLB draft-able players from power conferences. I also set it up in a way where the schedule consisted of only games within an individual conference.

As I was messing around with v13 (just bought a few days ago, I think it was included in past versions as well) and looking at the league schedule creation page, I noticed the ability to select the visiting and home teams based upon individual leagues. Does this make it possible to create a schedule where teams say from league A (Pac-12) play teams from league's B and C (SEC/ACC)? This seems potentially possible by doing in game, albeit with a ton of work. With each team having a team #id, would it be possible to create an entire schedule using the XML schedule file that would do such a thing?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

----I realize it would be possible and easier to accomplish something along these lines if each conference was merely a division within a league (NCAA), but then I would run into an inability to have separate rules/PCM's/league totals etc for individual conferences.
