Derrick Henry is leaving Alabama for the 2016 NFL Draft.

Henry won the Heisman Trophy with 395 rushes for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns.

As a sophomore in 2014, Henry had 172 carries for 990 yards and 11 touchdowns.

In Jeff Risdon's Top 103 for the 2016 NFL Draft from December, Henry was ranked 67th.

The college football championship between Alabama and Clemson had a 15.8 overnight rating.

The game was close throughout with several lead changes.

Last season's college basketball championship game between Duke and Wisconsin had a 17.1 overnight rating.

Christian Hackenberg will forgo his senior season at Penn State to enter the 2016 NFL Draft.

Hackenberg announced his intention after the Nittany Lions' 24-17 loss Saturday in the TaxSlayer Bowl.

Hackenberg left the game with a shoulder injury.

ESPN draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both have listed the 6-foot-4, 228-pound Hackenberg as fifth-best among draft-eligible quarterbacks and third among underclassmen.

"It was tough," Hackenberg said. "You've invested so much into a place and invested so much into fixing things and making sure it's where it needs to be."

The semifinals of the College Football Playoff received poor ratings with their decision to play on New Year's Eve.

Overnight numbers for the Oklahoma-Clemson Orange Bowl and Alabama-Michigan State Cotton Bowl were 9.7 and 9.9, respectively. Last year's Rose and Sugar semis got 15.5 and 15.3.

The organizers underestimated the number of people still working during the first game and how many would alter their New Year's Eve plans for the second.

The contracts call for this same schedule seven of the next 10 years.

Joey Bosa was ejected from the Fiesta Bowl for leading with his helmet on a hit to DeShone Kizer.

The play not only negated an interception, but it also brought a close to his collegiate career even earlier than expected.

Bosa will declare for the 2016 NFL Draft and is expected to be a potential top overall selection.
