In years when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, I believe the bowl games

were forced to play on a different day because they didn't want to compete against the NFL. Even if New Year's Day falls on a Saturday, I believe the NFL could choose to play a regular season games/playoff games on that day because it is outside the college football regular season per the concessions made by the NFL under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.

8:30 or even 9:00 on a Friday night would work out for both coasts.
Maroon Baboon • 01/12/22 10:37 AM ET
Friday night is a no go because the networks don't want to impact

Listening to them is bad enough, but having to see them is worst !**

Monday night championship games are not fan friendly.
