I'm thrilled. The only way this could have worked out better is if they'd scheduled it for 8pm on Valentine's Day.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:12 AM ^
You can always record it (the game, not the g/f).
December 9th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
That is crazy talk.
December 9th, 2021 at 11:25 AM ^
Why not both?
December 9th, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
Fowler, Herbie, & crew will earn their money. They call the UM game in Miami at 730 pm on NY Eve then the Rose Bowl in Pasadena at 5 PM on NY Day.

Great because without Herbie, the viewer would never be able to figure out the team which seems to have the momentum at the moment.
Basically the bread and butter of his analysis.
Have always found it weird they fly him all over the place to make sure he is doing the game they think is the biggest that week.
He does a good job but not anything that much better than any number of color guys who do college football for ESPN/ABC.
December 9th, 2021 at 5:50 PM ^
He and Fowler are the A-team, not sure what you expect.
Fowler lives in Miami so he doesn't have to go anywhere and Herbie can come there...then they have to call the Rose Bowl together so they'll both be headed out.
The #2 crew (McDonough/Blackledge) will get Bama/Cincinnati, No question.
ESPN/ABC only have but so many pairings. Why wouldn't they put their best on the best games?
December 9th, 2021 at 12:22 PM ^
I'm going to be in Seattle for NYE - is Buckley's in Belltown still the place to be for Michigan games?
December 9th, 2021 at 11:18 PM ^
I just realized this was the info for the Ohio State game. I’ll keep my eye on their page for NYE though thanks.
December 13th, 2021 at 1:34 PM ^
Point is that those are the official and unofficial watch locations, as they have been all season. I expect that those would remain, although yes, keep an eye on the FB site.

Oh My there will be Couch Burning in EL due to the disrespekt!!!

Jeez, what a sad line-up of games, other than the four-team playoffs. I'm only interested in two of them -- the Rose Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl -- and that only to cheer against Ohio State and Notre Dame.
Bring back the 80s. Bring back USC, and Florida State, and Miami, and Washington, and Texas, and Auburn, and maybe even Brigham Young and Florida. I didn't cheer for most of those teams, but at least I enjoyed cheering against them. What a bland slate this is.
Baylor vs. Ole Miss? Iowa vs Kentucky? Bleccccch. No thanks. I can't imagine even their own fans care about those games.
December 9th, 2021 at 3:32 PM ^

Baylor/Ole Miss is a great game. As is Arkansas/Penn State (if Clifford is healthy).
WTF are you talking about?
ND vs. Oklahoma St.? Sign me up.
Exactly what bowl matchups would you have gotten in the old system that would've even better than this?
This is basically all the #5-#12 teams playing each other. I'll take that in a heartbeat.
You're excluding the best 4 teams, what did you expect? It's only going to get worse when we go to 8 or a 12-team playoff.
I mean I supposed we could go back to the system that would give us... Michigan/Utah, Bama/Baylor, Georgia/Ohio State, Cincinnati/Louisiana.
I'll take the playoff.

With exception to Iowa/Kentucky...those New Year's Day matchups are incredible.
