The last time I saw schedule corruption, it was when we messed around with the teams for WOOF and saw it in season 1. The reason for this is some of FOF's schedule comes from matching up teams based on results the season before, and some is hardcoded in the schedule files themselves.
What happened in WOOF is we changed which teams were in which divisions in the datafile, so for example if you moved Atlanta from NFC South to NFC East, and it was considered to be the 3rd place team, for parts of its schedule it will play as "3rd place NFC East team" and it will look fine.
But for some of the games, they are hardcoded in the schedule file to match specific teams. There is a shortcut that may match Atlanta against Houston, and not NFC South Team X vs AFC South Team Y.
That caused us to have issues such as the above.
To create this, though, required me to hand-edit the binary data file to move which conference and division a team was in. There is no way to create this via the game itself. I only did this because we had a screw up in the initial WOOF setup, and to correct it we had to undo it and leave the division assignments alone.
