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.

But what if the last place team at the time of official playoff elimination has the easiest strength of schedule from that point on, while teams behind them have way harder strength of schedules?
Would be quite annoying in that scenario that sounds like a lot of luck involved from the schedule makers.
Edit: ignored your strength of schedules part before responding lol
