Of course the next time we see these particular interconference pairings in 2027, in conference play the East Divisions will play the South Divisions and the North Divisions the West Divisions.

Under this alignment, not only would we see 40 games each between two Northeastern teams and two Southern teams, we'd also have 60 games matching a team from the Midwest against a team from the West.
