This. The West only plays one more game in their division than they do against the East, so it essentially balances out the schedule. If a team from the West can’t make the playoffs, they don’t deserve to make the playoffs.Edgy, explain how a "very good West" team wont make the playoffs? If in crossover you cant win 3 games then win 2-3 in conference games are you a "very good team"? Lets say it was one big conference, that "very good team" would still have to win at least 2-3 of their conference game vs a west team and if the SWP allowed to go out of conference would you schedule teams worse then the bottom of the EAST? At the end of the day only 1 west team is in trouble right now.
In my opinion, Minooka is the class of the league this year with Oswego East, Oswego and Plainfield North in the next group.
