Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.
Excellent point. ACC teams will be forced to remember and regret this day.Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.
Seeding will still matter. I'm sure most teams are going to want to get the best they can, so that first game isn't a dogfight. I understand your point though.Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.
Clinching a spot in many cases would require teams to play in and win the conference championship game.Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.
Great..
Another FSU post

Not a single spot was "clinched" until the games were played this weekend.
Or, am I missing something here?
No repercussions due to FSU, this is the repercussion for the 12 team playoffs. FSU dropped down 1 spot not all the way down to 13.Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.
I know 12 teams next year make it, but how would a team especially several teams be able to clinch a spot and then sit players at season's end like week 18 in the NFL?CFP expanded to 12 teams next season.
Very well could be even larger starting in 2026 with the new TV deal.
Exactly. The top four conference champions get byes. Coaches aren't going to sit guys and ***** that up.Seeding will still matter. I'm sure most teams are going to want to get the best they can, so that first game isn't a dogfight. I understand your point though.

The top 4 teams will get a bye so the injury issue will be on the other teams who must play more games. In a 12 team playoff won’t the lower seeded teams have to play a 16 game season? Ugh.Once teams have "clinched" a spot in the 12-team bracket, coaches will shut down key players rather than risked being dinged by the selection committee for an injury.

OP's post is spot-on.
Coaches nationwide will remember that it was Norvell who screwed the pooch by playing Travis against a nunnery when Rodemaker should have started against Northern Alabama.
The present fiasco is all on Norvell and his staff.
