Oklahoma finished the season strong with victories over Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri and LSU to secure its 10-2 record. The Sooners have had some offensive struggles all year, but they have a stellar defense that has come through game-changing turnovers at opportune times all season.
Alabama was more on the bubble, especially following its 28-7 loss in the SEC Championship game against Georgia. But it beat the same Bulldogs team on the road back in September, with double-digit wins over Tennessee and Vanderbilt also on its resume.
Oklahoma produced a narrow 23-21 win over Alabama in its matchup on Nov. 15th. On brand for the Sooners, their defense held the Crimson Tide in check for the entire fourth quarter to get their desired result.
