http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/12999779/college-football-playoff-semifinals-start-4-pm-et-new-year-eve What the hell are they doing that for? Last year was absolutely perfect with both games on New Year's Day and it set rating records. Why would they mess with such a good thing? It seems like last year was the template for CFB owning New Year's Day. I contend that when they go to 4 quarterfinal games (and they will eventually) that it would be a college football-gasm if they played all 4 games on New Year's Day. Start at noon on the East Coast and end it with a game on the West Coast. For example, for all of us central time zone people, you could have an Orange Bowl at noon, Sugar Bowl at 3, Fiesta Bowl at 6, and Rose Bowl at 9. 12 solid hours of playoff college football. Ratings would be ridiculous.
