Because they don't want to fuck with the Rose Bowl.

No, seriously, that's why.

It's actually the Sugar Bowl that's causing the problem. When the SEC and Big 12 decided to create the "Champions Bowl" which was pretty much a take over of the Sugar Bowl they got locked into the Jan. 1 8:30pm kickoff during the tv rights negotiations with ESPN. Had the Sugar Bowl been able to be moved to the 31st or 2nd both of the semi's would have been played on the 1st at 1pm and 8:30pm with the Rose Bowl in the middle.

 

Same thing will happen next year with the Fiesta and Peach bowl hosting the semi's on the 31st and the Rose and Sugar being played on the 2nd due to the 1st falling on a Sunday(the traditional New Years Day games are aways played on the 2nd when the 1st is a Sunday). But less people will be working during the 4pm semi next year due to the 31st being a Saturday.

Can't we just kill that term? How is losing to an undefeated #1 team in the nation on a neutral field choking? Even if they were favored.

In my mind, Clemsoning died, when they made it through the regular season and ACC championship unscathed.
