That would raise ratings among them and, possibly, that of the league. Of course, that may further insure a 1-bid league if the conference champion has 4 conference losses...

As long as most of the losses come from the teams in the top half, we could still get 2 in.

But, we need the top half to schedule well, win some of them, then the conference changes scheduling so the top teams play each other more, later in the year.

It will affect seeding but its just something we have to deal with somehow if we want a chance to get 2 teams in regularly. And all teams would share in the extra money from that.

if the top 6 teams play the other 5 times 4 times, 2 home & away that could separate them from the bottom half. We pretty much need to tell the bottom teams, sorry but you suck. Deal with it. And let them play each other so the upper half doesn't get dragged down from playing them.

And we half to punish teams & coaches who wont schedule stronger. I don't know if its a loss of seeding or what.

In other words, OOC SOS could mean 1 spot in the tournament seeding. If its too low.
