Christ! Three great games and they all start with in a half hour of each other. You mean to tell me ESPN couldn't have bumped the times a bit and made one of the games a 10pm Eastern start so we the fans could get a solid quadruple header.

Instead they have Penn State/Florida, Michigan State/Bama and Michigan/Miss State all kicking off at basically the same time. I'm not a greedy football watcher but what were those lousy clowns at ESPN thinking?

To top it off we get to watch Oklahomo play Uconn in the finally for the day. Whoop Dee freaking doo!

seems like it used to be ( before BCS ) they were staggered much better.....now they cram these 5 games in the early day, and have a later game..then we go day to day with the BCS games...but being a saturday, would have def been better to spread them out.....much more fun

Used to be a bonanza on New Years Day.

All the big bowls were played that day with the Sugar and Orange being the late games.

And college football was done and the next day the final rankings were posted.

Now they bleed us to death till the second week in Jan.

I usually hate the new setup, but the two games I most want to watch are on by themselves, so it's not so bad for me.

Looking forward to both BCS games, although I understand most of you guys don't care for the late game. For me, it's perfect.
