The stage is set. The Alabama Crimson Tide is set to face Oklahoma in a revenge game after last year's loss at the hands of the Sooners, which effectively knocked them out of playoff contention. This year, the roles are reversed. The Tide can cement itself as a 2025 playoff team, while another loss for Oklahoma likely means the same as it did for Bama last year: Lose and you're out.
Saying Alabama's strength of schedule over the last six weeks has been tough is an understatement. They've knocked off four ranked opponents since the end of September.
