Most office places let people go by noon on NYE

I don't personally care when the games are because they are more important than partying because it's New Years

I'm kinda glad it's tomorrow bc I don't wanna wait any longer

I feel like this isn't true. You mean without having to take PTO?

Noon is a stretch but 2-3 pm is usually the sweet spot in my YOUNG experience.

What are people doing tomorrow? I'll be in Florida at the beach house watching. Would normally go to fireworks, but I guess it depends how the Alabama game is going. In-laws are Bama fans because bro in law went there.

7/9 what? 0 titles since the playoff era and counting (or not I suppose). PhallusTrophyMontage.jpg [oh noes no more crystalballmontage.jpg to plaster all over the place]

This is exactly why I was saying years ago that a playoff system that incorporated bowls was a huge mistake.

January 2nd would have made WAY more sense than Dec 31.

It's on a Saturday, and the good bowls are supposed to come after the crummier bowls anyway.

My boss would probably be pissed if I left the office at noon tomorrow. I think I can get out by 3 or 4 though. Lol most places let you leave at noon. Where the **** do you work Nicholas? Must be an awesome place.

A good boss ducks out early and makes it clear that he is gone.

You guys know the NFL legally can't play on Saturday until some time in December, right?

Maybe FBS is just that scared that NFL would compete with them on a Saturday playoff. Schedule NYE because NFL wouldn't be dumb enough to schedule NYE

A nice piece on the awful decision to have the playoff games on New Year's Eve:

Cliffs: The Rose Bowl still wields enormous power and will never ever sacrifice its perfect 5PM EST starting time on New Year's Day.
