I read in Matt Burgland's blog that the criteria for selecting playoff teams has changed for next season. As I understood it, a SOS rating will now comprise 75% of the ranking while W/L record will account for 25%. I may have this wrong. If I do, please correct me.
If that's the case, I don't see how it will work or how it makes much sense. For example, our teams play a round-robin schedule in their respective division so that makes SOS relatively even, except for crossover and out of conference games. My questions are 1) does this mean they are going to assign different strengths to different conferences and/or regions? and 2) does this make the randomness of the PSAC crossover schedule potentially unfair to the teams who are in the playoff hunt because they don't have control over their SOS?
