The playoffs actually have meaning because you're still in contention for a national title and in a bowl game it's just bragging rights.
Winning or losing national title = Zero additional dollars in future NFL earnings.
Winning or losing a bowl game = Zero additional dollars in future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in game 1 of playoffs = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in game 2 of playoffs = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in a bowl game = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.

How are you not seeing the obvious difference
How can you not grasp that the purely economic argument that a player is "protecting their livelihood" by not playing in one game doesn't apply with even more force to not playing in two games?

or are you just pissy because Baker decided to do something you didn't like
I don't really care what he did. First stating that he would play, then reversing himself made him look bad, though.

Are you seriously this dense? 
Baker and other like him would be playing in the playoffs because there's a trophy to play for. There's nothing to play for in the sugar bowl.
There is a risk in both but why take a risk when there is no title to play for?
That is the way people like Baker look at it and it's usually only players who can't really improve their draft stock anymore
