The College Football Playoff is finally here. After a one-year reprieve, Alabama is back in the CFP where it belongs. The Crimson Tide will face off against the Oklahoma Sooners tonight in Norman for the opening game of the playoff, with a spot in the Rose Bowl on the line.
This is a rematch of a regular-season meeting between the Tide and Sooners. Oklahoma got the better of Alabama last month, pulling out a 23-21 victory thanks to an opportunistic defense and a wide gap in special teams play.
There's been a lot of chatter around the present and future of the Alabama program heading into this game.
