New Year's Day Big Ten-SEC Battles to Air Opposite One Another
They're rearranging your New Year's Day. The good news is that you get to sleep in a little later. The bad news is that there are fewer hours of football from start to finish. The great news is that you won't have to watch any of it on Fox.
The upshot is that the odds are pretty good that, at 2:00 p.m. on January 1, 2011, you'll be watching the Bulldogs play a Big Ten team in the Sunshine State.

Well, to be fair...
… nobody wants to kick off before noon on January 1. That’s one of the main reasons that the Outback Bowl seemed worse to me than the Peach-Fil-A Bowl. The Peach-Fil-A was on December 31, but it was in a prime-time slot and was the only game on that evening, so you were basically the featured attraction and had a whole day to tailgate and get lubricated excited about the game. (Not to mention the fact that you’re getting a much more regionally-attractive ACC opponent than the third or fourth-best Big Ten team… so, basically, Purdue, Wisconsin, or Iowa.)
At least ABC and ESPN saved us from Fox, though. They’d have to do a lot more tinkering with the schedule than this to overshadow our liberation from Thom Brenneman & Co.
