There are things to work out, such as it doesn't account for different strengths of schedules post elimination.
However I like the concept because you reward winning down the stretch.

If a team wins 30 games, I don't see what difference the sequencing of it makes. It's great if they win them in April and bad if they win them in October?
The ideal thing is to get eliminated from playoff contention in the last game of the regular season? Picking between a "waste of eight days" and the #1 overall pick doesn't seem too difficult.
