It's official. The Oklahoma Sooners are in the College Football Playoff, and they are hosting a first-round game in Norman.
That's huge news for OU. A game at home gives the team a massive leg up over anyone who comes to town. However, the team they are set to face in Round 1 is going to be a massive hurdle for the Sooners to clear.
None other than the Alabama Crimson Tide is Oklahoma's opponent in the first round, a rematch of the upset game that the Sooners pulled off just a few weeks ago.
