Alabama, Oklahoma and College Football Playoff
Digest more
Both teams enter the game with aspirations for the College Football Playoff. Last season, Oklahoma ended Alabama's chances of making the playoff. At that time, Alabama was ranked No. 7, while Oklahoma was trying to become bowl eligible. The Sooners won 24-3 at home, making this a revenge game for the Crimson Tide.
The game will air live on ABC in Week 12 of the college football season. The broadcast team for the game will be Sean McDonough (play-by-play), Greg McElroy (analyst), and Molly McGrath (sidelines). Streaming options for the Alabama and Oklahoma football game include FUBO, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.

Typically, you’ll see cartoonish caricatures of Big Al, Bear Bryant, Nick Saban, and now Kalen DeBoer and other current Crimson Tide stars, likely Ty Simpson and Ryan Williams. UA sororities always deliver the goods, getting even more spectacular each year, with intensely pomped designs of famous Alabama coaches, players, moments and more.
