If they want to keep two divisions, they need to find a way to get a fifth team in the East, with each division playing 10 games in your division and 8 against the other. That would make a crossover much less likely, and allow for better scheduling.
That schedule wouldn't happen. The five eastern teams would still play 10 games against the five western teams and only eight within their own division, just as they do now. The only difference would be that the intra-division games would be divided up among four teams instead of three. The only way we will ever play fewer than 10 games against the west is if they scrap the home-and-home format that has existed since 1981. And there's no way eastern teams would be willing to have the big-draw Roughriders come to town only every second year.
