Negative. I was talking about how some guys(in the old system), if mildly injured, would choose to injury default to 6th in the bigten, since they'd already qualified (bigten took top 7 automatically). Seeding has nothing to do with it. It is a simple tactical decision to keep a guy from getting injured further, since the real goal, is simply to advance out of the conference tourney.
None of which really means much now, since we've had the system clarified.
