Happy New Year! The first day of 2009 offers up some intriguing matchups on the gridiron, but given the recent phenomena of spreading out bowl games over an entire month New Year's Day can seem a bit barren to some. Bragging rights for conferences are on the line as well, most notably in a couple of matchups between the Big Ten and SEC along with a traditional showdown in Pasadena. The league/team with the most to lose: Virginia Tech, champions of the ACC.

BUFFALO, NY - The last time Connecticut played a game at the University at Buffalo was 1951. You can bet it will be another 50 years before the Huskies return to Amherst after the Bulls put a major scare into the nation's second-ranked team. UB fell to Connecticut, 68-64, before a frenzied crowd at Alumni Arena.
