Neat idea about Indies being a G6. Requiring them to schedule all other indies may be too onerous, especially because the roster of Independent teams can be rather fluid and schedules are made so far in advance. Maybe a 3 or 4 game requirement, with those unable or unwilling to schedule that many simply being eligible for the at large spot. Such a change may induce Texas independence. I still think the top G5 will get a NY6 (or equivalent) spot.
