Long story short: It's going to be a two-day New Year's nirvana for college football fans on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. "There will be three [games] each day, that's how we envision it," BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Thursday. "It will be 1 [p.m.], 5 and 8 [eastern], basically, and the same windows on New Year's Day." As was announced Tuesday, six bowls will rotate hosting the two semifinal games over a 12-year period ...

Maybe they will spread some of the lower level but decent games out a little bit. I hate watching the trash games for two weeks and then all the mid level SEC games that are worth watching come on at the same time. 10AM New Years Day.

Used to be there were good games for about 4 days, all worthy bowls. Now it's crappy bowls for 2 weeks, followed by the biggies after New Year's Day. Looks like we'll have the only biggies in 2 days, then the final NCG a week later. Wonder if we have to await a vote after the final game to make it official (like it is now). :dunno: |
