The past decade:
We had the Colts-Patriots. And they're not even in the same division. It just happened that both teams were simultaneously good; and scheduling often put the two against each other year-after-year.
Point of the matter. These "rivalries" do not necessarily have to be in the same division. Therefore, it should be acceptable to move teams out of certain divisions and still retain the rivalries, while potentially creating new ones.
