5-ish things to watch in the first round of the College Football Playoff

The weekend that college football fans have long dreamed of – and spent countless hours arguing about – is finally here.

Kicking off at 8 p.m. ET Friday, the first round of the new and expanded College Football Playoff is bringing winner-moves-on, loser-goes-home football to campuses for the first time. It all gets started from historic Notre Dame Stadium when the seventh-seeded Fighting Irish take on the 10th-seeded Indiana University Hoosiers on ESPN.

Three storyline-rich games follow on Saturday when six-seed Penn State hosts 11-seed Southern Methodist University (noon ET on TNT), five-seed Texas hosts 12-seed Clemson (4 p.m. ET on TNT) and eight-seed Ohio State hosts nine-seed Tennessee (8 p.m. ET on ESPN).
