Rotating opposite-conference division - 4
Rotating same-conference division - 4
Same-ranked teams from the other same-conference divisions - 2
And the result is that every team plays four #1 teams, four #2 teams, four #3 teams, and four #4 teams (based on division rank).
Playing 17 games is always going to result in some inequality among teams in the division. Even 18 would be better.

Yep.

And yep.
