Doesn't go into effect until 2018. Glad I'll get to watch a VOLS W and the ball drop on the same night this annum

More info.....
"In 2018, the semifinals (Cotton and Orange bowls) will be played Saturday, Dec. 29. In 2019, the semifinals (Fiesta and Peach) will be played Saturday, Dec. 28.
The semifinals will be played on New Year’s Eve in 2021 and 2022. But in 2022, Dec. 31 falls on a Saturday.
“Obviously, Saturday is a traditional college football day,” Hancock said. “We feel Saturday works.”
In 2021, when New Year’s Eve falls on a Friday, it’s the designated national holiday for the weekend, which Hancock said should alleviate the concerns from fans who typically work on New Year’s Eve.
In 2024 and 2025, the games will be played on Saturday, Dec. 28, and Saturday, Dec. 27, respectively."

According to the Big Ten's commish, the Rose Bowl refuses to move its "traditional" game from Jan. 1. Period. No further discussion.

What an obscure game to reference. Was pretty good I guess

Rose bowl is a dump. I love NYE w/ semis.

I'm just glad they're moving that shite. I absolutely hated having a new years eve game. They're on the same night as a million other fun things, and you're going to watch it if your team is playing. Only fans of the teams in it are watching.
Saban better not retire after '17

Rose Bowls have been shitty games lately too.

Add the sugar bowl to that as well. They won't budge from New Year's Day either.

I see much disappointment in your future.
