Re: 2019 Football Matchup Diagram
This is beyond stupid.

I made this diagram to illustrate all of the intra-D2 games this upcoming season. Each box contains a list of teams that play a full round-robin, color-coded by region (blue = 1, red = 2, purple = 3, green = 4). Lines connect each team to every D2 opponent they play outside their division or conference. The conferences are arranged roughly geographically.
A larger version of this diagram is available here.
- The GNAC plays a double round robin, illustrated by a double-outlined box.
- The NSIC plays a round robin within each division, but the divisions are subdivided into two pods, each of which plays one of the two pods from the other division. So there are two ways to break the NSIC into parallel eight-team round-robin groups; this is illustrated by a compound box.
- In the NE10, all the teams except Franklin Pierce play a conference opponent twice, once as a non-conference game. Teams that play twice are grouped together within the box.
- The boxes for the two divisions in the PSAC, CIAA, and SIAC are connected with dashed borders. In the PSAC, Week 11 cross-division matchups that could be superseded by the conference championship game are illustrated with a blue line.
- UNC Pembroke plays every team in the SAC and is thus shown in the same box.
