This just further solidifies my belief (actually, it completely nails it) that 1&2 seeds need to play through the NFL season as if they are meaningful games, even if they aren't.
Teams with first round byes in the playoffs that have rested their starters late in the regular season have done so atrociously in recent years compared to what one would expect, and my eyes, it's a direct correlation.
If professional athletes on a better team at home are doing so poorly after 2 weeks without a game and 3-4 weeks without a meaningful game, how are collegiate athletes on a supposedly inferior team supposed to fare across the country (possibly their first such trip ever) after 8 weeks of no game *whatsoever*, with extremely limited practice and school/tests/midterms inbetween?
Think about it.
