    CFP Preview: Is this DeBoer’s Last Game at Alabama? | WNBA Players Vote to Authorize Strike

    The College Football Playoff is finally here, as Friday night’s first round gives us a prime SEC rematch between Oklahoma and Alabama. Yet with constant rumors of him fleeing to Michigan, could this be head coach Kalen DeBoer's last game at Alabama? FOS reporter David Rumsey joins host Baker Machado to break down the first-round matchups and talk about whether the ratings for the games on Saturday could be dampened once again as they go-head to-head against an NFL Saturday doubleheader. Meanwhile, in their biggest step yet toward a potential work stoppage, WNBA players voted for their union to authorize a strike if necessary as the current deadline to come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement with the league expires Jan. 9. FOS women's sports reporter Annie Costabile has the latest on the negotiations plus insights into reports that the Connecticut Sun could be headed to Houston.
