College Football Playoff: How to Watch, Open Thread

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The College Football Playoff gets underway today with Clemson vs. Oklahoma at 4 EST, followed by Alabama vs. Michigan State starting at 8 EST.

No, Cincinnati doesn't have any stake in the College Football Playoff this season. However, maybe you're interested in checking out an Oklahoma team that will surely be a heated conference rival in the years to come (Right Big 12? Right?) or, more likely, you are just a football fan who wants to see how it all goes down. Regardless, here's what you need to know for today's festivities as we closeout 2015 with glorious college football.

Oh, and be sure to check-in on those Houston Cougars who (at the time of this writing) are giving Florida State all they can handle.

Also, feel free to use this post as a discussion board for your college football fix.
