Late to the party, and obviously in hindsight it didn't matter because the games were so one-sided and thus kinda boring. But what the heck was with them deciding to play the two semifinals the evening of freaking NEW YEAR'S EVE??? Too lazy to check, but weren't they both on New Year's Day last year? Being hung over watching bowl games is kinda what it's all about. I was oot & aboot last night (like most people on NYE) and unable to watch, which had me quite bitter about it.
Maybe there's a reason I'm unaware of, but at first glance it just seems really dumb. Maybe the CFB execs have become a bunch of hipsters and want less viewers, because playing it on NYE night is a good way to start that. Next year they should just play them on Christmas morning, makes sense..
