Elimination is also dependant on conference. For example a team in the west might get eliminated sooner than a team in the east even though they have the same amount of points.
The whole system is pretty much custom designed to first encourage teams to play as bad as possible and then reward teams that are the best out of the bad teams. That's kind of the opposite of desirable. (Which is teams trying hard and then the worst of the worst getting help.)
Plus of course it would be really confusing to follow as you'd need to start keeping two sets of standings. And it's highly random. It's pretty much the worst suggestion ever.
