Happened after the Fail Mary a few years back and on one other recent instance that I can’t put my finger on. Understand you’d need to do it if a defensive conversion could alter the outcome, but otherwise it’s stupid. Wikipedia says it’s because regulation points factor into one of the lower level tiebreakers. I can buy that, though teams just take a knee anyway (the odds of one or two points in a season-long cumulative points tiebreaker making a difference or even coming into play in the first place are astronomically low). Furthermore, it makes ZERO sense in a post-season game. They need to scrap that rule; it’s painfully anticlimactic.

No, it’s just because it’s more convenient for his Big 10 schedule. [emoji12] But I guess that’s all the more reason he might get the SB. I hope he blocked out Feb. 4th in Arbiter.
