New Year's Day College Football Viewers Guide

· 2 min read

The world’s foremost authority on college football viewership, helping tens of people to clickover from Bama blowouts to more quality games since 2018!

Games for Friday, January 1, 2021. All times CT because that’s where the SEC West is located.

11 am: Georgia vs. Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl (ESPN) The Bulldogs might decide to care about this one since J.T. Daniels has had such limited time this season. Will Luke Fickell treat this like a broadcast interview for a bigger job opening?

Noon: Auburn vs. Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl (ABC) Interim coach Kevin Steele will surely be fired up to win one for the fans who waged campaigns to keep him from being hired to the permanent job.

3 pm: Alabama vs. Notre Dame in the relocated Rose Bowl (ESPN) Suggest you paint a wall of your house on Friday morning so that you can spend a couple hours watching it dry. With no clickover games, it’s your best bet to have something more entertaining to watch than this blowout.

7 pm: Clemson vs. Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl (ESPN) Should be competitive we hope.

Saturday, January 2: A trio of decent matchups with Ole Miss vs. Indiana (11:30 am, ABC), Iowa State vs. Oregon (3 pm, ESPN) and Texas A&M vs. North Carolina (7 pm, ESPN).
