The Alabama Crimson Tide are preparing for a College Football Playoff showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners - a rematch of the tight 23-21 contest won by Brent Venables and company.

As Alabama prepares for the massive face-off, it's been forced to deal with rumors regarding head coach Kalen DeBoer once again. Earlier in the coaching cycle, DeBoer was heavily linked to the Penn State opening even though the head coach himself made it clear he wasn't interested in the job.

Now, the Crimson Tide are contending with rumors linking DeBoer to the Michigan job that came open when the Wolverines fired head coach Sherrone Moore following an inappropriate workplace relationship.
