thanks for all the comments, especially SI. Good to have you on board StLee, appreciate the comments.
For the first part of my questions, the problem with adding a D2 team is the what if sports simulator only includes D1 teams. I could always use one of those teams and call it a D2 team, but I don't think that would be very realistic. Probably what I'm going to have to do is just schedule 2 random games extra for each team in group 58. The schedule won't be balanced, but its the only way I can think of.
As for the second part of the question, I do know that it was a grind just changing the groups around initially so that there wasn't more than 1 team from the same conference per group. That took some time. Probably what I'll do is leave the seedings alone, unless there is a situation in which I have teams tied and need to use a tiebreaker. Then if I can use it to my advantage to switch teams around that otherwise would have created matchups between conference teams or teams from the same group, I will do so. Otherwise I'll just leave things alone, as it will be A LOT easier.
Thanks guys!
