this is from si.com

Tom Coughlin should play his starters and try to beat the New England Patriots on Saturday. It's a no-brainer.

Coughlin is under immense pressure. Despite 10 victories, his job security is shaky. He's cooked, in my opinion, if he treats a game that is going to be broadcast on three networks like an exhibition.

One of the most significant games in league history is going to be played in the Big Apple. Coughlin cannot afford to ruin it by resting his starters. No way. If he takes all the drama out of the Pats' last obstacle to perfection and then loses his first-round playoff game, Shaun Powell, Mike Vaccaro, William C. Rhoden, Steve Serby and George Willis will have all the ammo they need to call for Coughlin's ouster.

I'm sorry, but this fight is way too big to turn the other cheek. This isn't a civil-rights movement. It's football, and it would be cowardly for the Giants to no-show the biggest game of the year.

The fact that we're in having this debate is exhibit No. 1 in why there's not a damn thing wrong with college football. You don't have these ridiculous scenarios where games don't matter in college football.
