On Friday, No. 9 Alabama and No. 8 Oklahoma will kick off the 2025 College Football Playoff with a first-round matchup against each other. The game will be a rematch of last month’s contest between the two teams, which saw Oklahoma win 23-21.
Though Alabama seemingly limped into the playoff after losing to Oklahoma, narrowly beating Auburn and then falling to Georgia in the SEC championship game, they do have a good chance at taking down the Sooners to advance in the CFP. Not only was the last game close, but Alabama made a number of mistakes that they can avoid this time around to snatch the win.
