As for this season, Alabama will face Oklahoma on Friday, December 19 (7 p.m. CT, ABC/ESPN) in Norman, Oklahoma in the first round of the 12-team playoff. If the Crimson Tide wins that game, it will advance to the Rose Bowl to face No. 1 seed Indiana.

Alabama will welcome East Carolina, Florida State, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas A&M, Chattanooga and Auburn to Tuscaloosa next season

When's the last time Alabama lost to the same team twice in a season? Oklahoma is looking to be the first in two centuries.

Oklahoma WR Isaiah Sategna III: The speedy Sategna has been a walking big play for the Sooners. And they’ve needed him to break long touchdowns recently. Sategna has 65 catches for 948 yards and seven scores this season as he’s topped the 100-yard mark in three of OU’s last five games.

Three of the top five seeds in the College Football Playoff have never won a national title, including No. 1 Indiana.

Alabama football went into a loss at FSU feeling disrespected, and only came away more so. Against Oklahoma, the disrespect card gets one more play.
