Outrage, frustration pour out from USC, UCLA fans after kickoff time news is released

The College Football Playoff race will be affected that day as well, especially after nine top-25 teams fell this past weekend, suddenly giving hope to USC and UCLA.

The kickoff times for the other games were announced, and everybody is waiting for the decision to be made on when USC-UCLA and Utah-Oregon will be played.

Twitter had a field day reacting to these times, and Jon Wilner of The Mercury News dropped the official announcement.

Reaction was swift and forceful:
