"According to Division I men's ice hockey committee chair Ian McCaw, a
'bonus component' will reward teams for 'good wins' by adding percentage
points to their Ratings Percentage Index (RPI)."

...

"Though the system remains objective  because the bonus is precisely
defined  the NCAA has not published the exact percentage bonus that will
be given.

'This will add a little mystery to [selection] Sunday,' said McCaw."

I guess the committee got tired of having all the selection criteria
available for examination by the public.  Now we can go back to grumbling
about how much respect our favorite conferences get from the committee.
