Playoff games will be earlier.

Games start at 3 and 7, instead of 4 and 8. This pushes the Orange Bowl to Dec. 30.

Since NYE is a Saturday this year (and thus pushing the New Year's Day games to 1/2), this still won't give us conclusive data on viewing trends. But, it should keep us from worrying about the game running past midnight. Now we just need a worthy game in that later slot.

Although, I wish they would move the title game to a slightly earlier slot. Ending after midnight on a Monday night is not cool.

I imagine this is just a one time deal, and will likely be revisited in future cycles.
