There are many things to ponder here.

Excellent points Andy. As soon as I posted I realized that 5 divisions would make no sense. You'd have to run some wacky scheme during the divisional playoffs. 6 would make much more sense from that standpoint, but like you said, there's numerous other issues.

Guess we'll have to wait and see till March or so (as usual )
