2 conferences with 2-4 team divisions in each. Division 1 has teams drafting from 1, 5, 9, and 13...division 2 with 2, 6, 10, 14 and so on. Divisions 1 & 3 make up one conference; 2 & 4 make up the other.
13 week schedule with two games against division rivals (6 total), 4 games against other division in conference and three games against one division in the other conference.
Division champions + next 4 best teams make playoffs. (12 total, 6 each conference). Division winners get byes in week 14 while wild cards are slotted 1-4 based on record and/or tie-breakers. Winner of WC #1 - WC #4 matchup gets one division winner while 2/3 winner gets the other. Divisional round matchups are preselected as to which wild card round winner gets which division champion (based on draft position which = team #). Super Bowl week 17.
Good luck with your expansion!!!

Suggestion for 16:
4 divisions of 4.
13 game sked.
Play divisional foes twice. (6 games).
The other 7 games against the 12 teams are up for debate, but you have to do the 2x in the division. You can play one division and 3 games based on league standings, random draw, rotation of schedules, whatever.
6 teams for playoffs - 4 division winners (which is why you play 6 div. games). Next best record is first wildcard (Seed #5). Next best total points scored (aside from Seeds 1-5) is Seed #6.
Two weakest div winners play wildcards (NFL style). Winners play #1 and #2 in Week 15. Super Bowl = Week 16.
Good luck.

Here is how we do it in my league that is in Yr. 5 -
4 Divisions of 4
14 game regular season - This setup only works in keeper/dynasty leagues.
-6 games in the DIV
-4 games against a separate division on a rotating basis (DIV A plays DIV B in 2007, DIV C in 2008, DIV D in 2009, etc)
-4 games that are based on previous year's performance. (If you finish 1st or 2nd in you division, you play the top 2 teams in the remaining 2 divisions)
7 Teams for playoffs
-1 is the only seed that gets a bye for Week 15. 2 plays 7, 2 plays 6 and 4 plays 5.
-In the Semi's, 1 gets lowest remaining seed.
-This is essentially the setup that the KC brass has proposed for years. Why award the #2 seed? This way gets an extra team in the postseason.
-What we have always done is that 4 DIV winners get top 4 seeds. What we are thinking about doing is changing it the format to winning your division only gets you in the playoffs, but not necessarily a Top 4 seed.
Starting Lineup
-1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 DEF
-Makes it pretty cut-throat on having good RBs
Roster Size
-18 man rosters

2 Conferences w/2 Divisions each (4 total)Our conferences are determined Geographically (North to South). This creates semi-permanent divisions - we realign every year if someone has moved.13 week schedule. 6 games vs. division rivals, 4 games vs. the other teams in your conference, and 3 games vs. one of the other divisions in the other conference (We rotate what division we play out of conference each year). Who you play out of conference is based on record from last year:1st plays Teams 1,2,32nd plays Teams 1,2,43rd plays Teams 1,3,44th plays Teams 2,3,48 playoff teams with no byes. However, each conference winner gets money from the pot before the playoffs start.We start:1 QB1 RB2 WR1 TE1 Flex (RB, WR, TE)1 K1 DWe draft 17 rounds. When we expanded to 16 we went to a couple of roster limits no more than:2 "starting" QBs4 Total QBs2 Kickers2 DefensesI don't want to get into a whole roster limits discussion - there are plenty of threads for that...I am a big believer of making your own destiny, but at the same time we all agreed that is didn't seem like much fun to have your QB get hurt and not be able to start someone for 5 weeks because someone else is hoarding 5 of them - just doesn't seem realistic. Again, please no flames, just an opinion...
