Ok, think of it this way.

Ohio State is undefeated at the end of the year. They are going to the playoff as the big 10(+2) champ. The game agains Michigan means nothing. Michigan hurts your starting quarterback in the first quarter. Certainly he could return to the game, but why risk it? He can sit out, and you guys lose, it means nothing. That is why it loses the intensity. There is nothing to play for other than beating your rival. At the behest of your future games you would not send your best player back out there because you would want to save him for the playoffs.
