Should the Terps football team play for an ACC championship next season, it will do so in prime time.

Along with the change in time, the Dec. 5 Championship Game, held at Raymond James Stadium in Tamp, Fla.,will shift from ABC to ESPN.

The contest has not been shown in prime time since the inaugural championship game in 2005. That was the first year the ACC had 12 teams.

Virginia Tech has owned this day since the ACC adopted the championship game cash cow. But in 2009, ACC college kids won’t have to roll out of bed quite as early to see if the Hokies do it again (assuming, of course, they get there).

Aside, Terrapins Insider points out that the game will compete with the Big IX title game on ABC. As Terps fans, would you all rather watch another mediocre Boston College-Va. Tech matchup or watch some Big IX offenses shoot it out?
