Though a West Coast game would end at 9 pm local time, giving people enough time to go out. I understand why they didn't book one....
IIRC college playoffs were on NYE last year and ratings were poor....

It was the last 2 years and yes they were atrocious. The CFP bends over backwards for the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl owns New Year’s Day (unless on a Sunday) so when the Rose Bowl is not hosting a playoff game, the playoffs are the night before - which is stupid.
This year the Rose Bowl gets a playoff game so it isn’t a problem. I hope they change that rule by next year though.
These game moves to 4:25 gives the Pats-rats game an excellent chance of being a main early CBS Game. Texans vs Clots will be regional for sure. That leaves the Browns vs Squealers. Browns are 0-15 so there's a good chance!
