They all had something to gain too. Baker was a first rounder who had nothing left to gain. But please cry more

You are implying that the playoffs are the standard for when a top ten draft pick guy should play post season. The reward that entices them to play is a trophy.

Stop and listen to yourself for a second. A trophy to go in the schools case and a ring. You are saying that a trophy that they will never possess and a $500 ring is going to be the things that make them change their mind about potentially risking millions by playing in one and possibly two extra games.

Pandora’s box is open. The NFL teams are not going to criticize this because it is in their best interest that these high draft players do not get injured in post season games. You want to know who these games are “meaningless” to? The first 10 teams on the draft board. The people who are in these players ears also consider playoff games “meaningless” They don’t give a flip about playoff games. They care about money. You are to young to understand these things right now but over time you will see how damaging this is to the purity (what’s left of it) of college football.

Wrong.

You think Ridley, Nauta, and Mecole, with three whole seasons of film, a large body of work, could have a 100 yd game and that actually make a difference on whether they got drafted higher?

You think GM's overlook 3 years of tape, and see a guy have a ludicrous game in the bowl, and start swapping around their draft board?

Don't kid yourself.
