The only thing I would change is that we have a 14 team league next year and an 8 team playoff starting in Week 14. Although the teams we face twice this year was also random, I didn't like the asymmetry of the scheduling.
A 14 team league has all of us facing each other once and we slide right into the playoffs.
I dont think that it is all luck. Granted, luck definetly plays a big part, but setting up a team and making key acquisitions is highly important as well.
And I agree with you in that there should be a 14 team league, but I think only 6 teams should go to the playoffs. Two should have a first round bye. That would be perfect.
