It's CFP time my feathered friends. Tonight in Norman Oklahoma. We have an SEC rematch featuring two of the classic brands in all the sport. 10-2 Oklahoma is a 3.5 point underdog vs 10-3 Alabama. Despite beating the Crimson Tide just four weeks ago.

Alabama has struggled rushing the ball all year, and I don't see that changing against the number one rush defense in the SEC. Oklahoma also sacked Alabama QB Ty Simpson five times, and forced him into multiple interceptions. Something he hadn't done all year. Now Alabama did put up over four hundred yards of offense, out gaining the Sooners by over a yard yards. But the untimely mistakes cost Alabama the game.

The winner of this game will move on to face Indiana in the Rose Bowl. This is the eight vs nine game, and is on the same side of the bracket as Oregon. If one of these programs gets hot, they very well could be the Semifinal matchup vs Oregon, should the Ducks get past Texas Tech. Which I think happens, and what I'm hoping happens.

Who wins? Is Oklahoma as good an eight seed as Ohio State was last year? I personally think Alabama has the higher ceiling, and has the best chance of giving Indiana trouble. But Oklahoma is a bad matchup for Alabama imo. I think Oklahoma vs Alabama will look similar to Indiana vs Ohio State. The higher ceiling team will be dragged down, and forced into a mud fight. Oklahoma is more suited to win a mud fight.

Oklahoma 20 Alabama 16.

This is a tough one. I pulled for OU the first time but I think Alabama/Indiana is a much better round two matchup (I would be interested to see what kind of creative ways DeBoer might come up with to attack IU's pass defense as I think both Oregon and tOSU attacked too much into its strengths). Either way Dan gets another shot at either DeBoer or Cignetti if Oregon can get past Texas Tech, which is fun. So go Bama tonight I guess? 😐

I don’t have a dog in this fight, and don’t see either team lasting long enough to play OBD.

The good thing about this game is an SEC loss. The bad thing about this game is an SEC win.

20-17 Bama pulls out a low score win. Either way the SEC is staring down a beating by Indiana a week and a half later!
