If you are in a four team division, you play every team in your
division twice plus both fifth place teams in your conference once.

If you are in a five team division, you play every team in your division
twice.

That accounts for eight games.

If you finish first or fourth in your division, you play every
first and fourth place team in the other divisions in your conference
once.

If you finish second or third in your division, you play every
second and third place team in the other divisions in your conference
once.

That brings those teams up to twelve games.

If you finished in the top four in your division, you play the top 
four teams of a single division in the other conference once.  That
conference that you play rotates, so in three years, (if you finish
in the top four each year) you play four teams from each division
in the other conference.

That brings those teams up to sixteen games, the full season.

If you finished fifth, you play every team in the four team division
in your conference once, and the other fifth place team in
your conference twice.

That brings them up to fourteen games.

You then play the fifth place finishers in the other conference once.

That brings them up to sixteen games, the full season.

I hope that explains it adequately.
