Well, there are two ways you can go with the Indianapolis vs. Baltimore
thing:
1) Once Cleveland got a new Browns team, the Ravens were a natural
rival. So the thing to do is put Baltimore in the same division as the
Browns.
2) Or you could go with geography; it makes a *lot* more sense under
those terms to put Indianapolis with the North, rather than the South,
and Baltimore with the South, rather than the North.
I think that in many ways, 2) makes a lot more sense. I was practically
choking on Indianapolis being in a South division, myself, until I
analyzed the situation with who was in AFC North, and what rivalries
might want preserving.
But, given that you predicted everything *but* that as soon as the
announcement was made, I'm impressed.
