9 games vs your own "division/group", 3 from the other five (or even 2+team choice) "Division/group" winners get auto-bid, with 6 wildcards taken from wherever. I even had a 2 year promotion/relegation cycle for the bottom 6 teams vs the top 6 of the second tier (feeling like 10% of the field changing every two years was a reasonable sweet spot that might work).

Second tier teams in line for a promotion opportunity can have the option of taking that shot OR staying in that season's League 2 post-season bracket (I suspect some would be fine with staying in the lower level honestly since there'd have to be some element of stadium size, investment, etc floors for the top tier)
