UPDATED: New Year's Day Bowls: Georgia, South Carolina Among Teams in Action

Updated 9:49 a.m., January 1
A generation ago, New Year's Day was THE day for college football bowl games. There were the Big Four -- Rose, Orange, Cotton and Sugar. And the season ended there.
Now, January 1 no longer the culmination, but it still offers some pretty good football. And in fact, the Rose Bowl is still holding to tradition, teeing it up at 5 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif.
