West coast teams that are good and get Monday or Sunday night games will always have a chance of being disadvantaged if they have an Eastern road game the following week. More teams are in the Eastern zone so the odds are stacked against west coast teams. They lose a day for travel that is a normal prep day. I suppose they can do film study. It's nearly impossible to make the schedule fair for everyone with teams spread allover.
