FIRST QUARTER: THE SIX DEBATES THAT COULD LOOM OVER THE PLAYOFF
It was a good weekend for College Football Playoff housekeeping. We discarded quite a bit of clutter—out went September flashes Arkansas, Mississippi, Notre Dame and Maryland.

But there will always be different opinions about how accessorize a place, and nothing creates debate like the playoff mansion.
