Silo scheduling is especially a killer for a 2 loss team when 3 of your wins are over NE, Lincoln and Mizzou Southern. Really waters down your playoff resume.

I think that playoff spots for silo conferences should be limited due to the silo schedule.

I think the committee "punished" Minn State by giving them #2 in 2017, in effect for the silo.

Sure, it mattered when noncons were played by all. That was what 2013 and prior for the MIAA anyway. That is not today's reality. The 2-2-2-1 format is going to be very difficult to break.
There is little incentive to play noncons in a 4 team region with 12 team conferences. Today, win totals within a conference are all that really matters. Start playing noncons you are at the mercy of your conference schedule. What if you happen to be scheduled to play Lincoln and NSU this year while another conference team avoids those 2? With the introduction of dynamic seeding by the NCAA that incentive is even further diminished as only the 1 seed is protected in the first round.
You're going to need at minimum 11 team conferences playing 1 ooc game within all 4 conferences to begin to see scheduling fully matter again. I just don't see the competitive incentive from an institutional standpoint to move in that direction.
