The geography consideration almost makes the entire OOC season pointless and makes a mockery of the regular season. Why bother playing tough teams like Texas and CSF if beating them 5/7 games and winning both series get you an 11 seed after finishing #2 in a Top 3 conference?

That is part of the problem re our seedline (not necessarily the teams in our regional). CSF and Texas weren't tough teams this year, and both missed the tournament, finishing way below their typical standards. Unlucky in scheduling, yes. But neither was a tough team this year.
