One radical solution might be for the Ozeki to face each other
earlier in the tournament, and for them to face lower ranked
rikishi with competitive records during the latter days, more than
is currently done. Even more radical would be for the final day's
matches to be announced after the day 14 results are known, so that
there are more rikishi with 7-7 records facing each other, including
Ozeki.
I don't know that even I would appreciate that major a deviation
from tradition, but it's a thought.
