per ESPN:

Because of the new College Football Playoff, the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day bowl lineups will be a lot less cluttered.

The Outback and Capital One bowls will remain on New Year's Day, but they will be the only nonplayoff games on Dec. 31 or Jan. 1, conference officials told ESPN.

In each of the past seven years, there have been 10 to 12 bowls played on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. However, this season there will be only eight -- with five of those games played in exclusive time slots.

The only bowls played on Dec. 31 will be part of the playoff's six New Year's-specific bowls. The Peach will have the early kickoff, followed by the Fiesta and then the Orange. Exact game times have not been determined.
