The Sooners are 10-4 on the season despite playing a very tough schedule. Their losses have come to Xavier, Texas Tech, Baylor and Kansas, but they have also defeated then-No. 9 Kansas at home and No. 5 Texas on the road. The Sooners have covered the spread in five straight games overall and each of their last five at home. Alabama is riding a 10-game winning streak, but it will be facing a ranked opponent for just the second time all season.

8* play on Oklahoma.
