Alabama won the first meeting with Oklahoma 17-0 in the 1963 Sugar Bowl, a game largely remembered for Lee Roy Jordan’s legendary 31-tackle performance. The teams tied 24-24 in the 1970 Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, with the Crimson Tide’s Richard Ciemny missing a 34-yard field goal on the final play.

A new-look SEC matchup kicks off under the lights this weekend as Oklahoma plays host to Alabama. Here’s what the oddsmakers are predicting for the game. Alabama sits at 8-2 and firmly in the College Football Playoff picture as selection draws closer but can’t afford any more mistakes going forward.

Despite Alabama football ending its non-conference schedule Saturday against Mercer, the Tide path to the SEC championship became much clearer.
