NFL NETWORK


The NFL expanded to 32 teams in 2002 with the addition of the Houston Texans. In addition, the NFL realigned for the first time since1970into eight divisions of four teams eachand the scheduling formula that was introduced guarantees for the first time that allteams play each other on a regular, rotating basis. Although the number of teams has increased to 32, the number of playoff teamsremains the same at 12.

Under the NFL scheduling formula, every team within a division plays 16 games as follows:

Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games). The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games). The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games). Two intraconference games based on the prior years standings (2 games). These games will match a first-place team

against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. Thesecond-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference will be matched in the same way each year.

The schedule format takes each team through a cycle of gameshome and awayagainst every other team in the league. From2002-2009, every team played every other team at least twiceonce home and once away. After the 2008 season, a decision wasmade to continue with the same rotation in 2010 and beyond.

In determining how to begin the divisional rotation in 2002, the displacement of teams from their old divisions in the new alignmentwas taken into account. Preference was given to scheduling games with former division rivals and other regional opponents for clubsrealigned from otherwise intact divisions.
