The No. 9 seed Crimson Tide take another shot at the No. 8 Sooners in a College Football Playoff first-round game. Oklahoma won at Alabama 23-21 on Nov. 15. The Sooners and Crimson Tide are two of five SEC programs in the 12-team CFP field.
The No. 11 Sooners (7-2, 3-2 SEC) visit the No. 4 Crimson Tide (8-1, 6-0) in this marquee matchup. Alabama has won eight straight after burying LSU, 20-9 out of its bye Nov. 8. Oklahoma shocked then-No. 14 Tennessee 33-27 before its week off Nov. 1.
The No. 18 Sooners (6-2, 2-2 SEC) seek revenge against the No. 14 Volunteers (6-2, 3-2). Tennessee topped Oklahoma 25-15 in 2024 in their first meeting as SEC rivals. The Vols are second among FBS programs in scoring at 45.6 points per game.
The No. 19 Cavaliers try to bounce back against the Tigers in the Gator Bowl. Virginia missed its chance at a College Football Playoff berth with an overtime loss to Duke in the ACC title game. Missouri won the only previous meeting, 31-7 in 1973.
