Simple question; why don't they change when these games are played? They shouldn't even be the same day. The SEC and BIG are the most passionate conferences overall, yet you pit the 3 games where they play each other in the same 4 hour block once a year?

Has there been a good explanation for this ever?

no, those should all be on NYD.

they should just space them out better.

also, the ESPN should lose the rights to a few bowls so we can get more night games instead of these BS early morning games that half the country will be in bed for.

It's been that way for a while. All these crappy games leading up to New Yesrs, then they put the games you would want to watch on at the same time. They should do something about that.

Tradition. Those games have always been on at the same time (Cap One=Citrus, Outback=Hall of Fame).

You've got 28 games in what 12 days? Too may games, but don't hold your breath waiting for the number of games to be reduced significantly.

It's always been like that. B1G vs SEC = ratings

All BCS games are assured of being played with no competition from other games. One BCS game at night and one BCS game in the afternoon. Everything else must be played around these games.

It all boils down to $$$ no matter what way you look at it.

Because nobody gives a shite about the BIG, it ain't the championship so who cares.
