DeBoer and the Crimson Tide's chief focus can now be on the Sooners after a previous loss to Oklahoma last month put Alabama in several playoff elimination games down the stretch. The Crimson Tide suffered three giveaways during that 23-21 setback in Tuscaloosa despite doubling Oklahoma in total yardage and largely dominating the contest.

Since its first episode in 1987, ESPN's 'College GameDay' has traveled to Norman 10 times. But when they're in town, are they good luck for the Sooners?

Since beating Tennessee in Week 8, Alabama's only victory over a team with a winning record was LSU on Nov. 8. The Crimson Tide's running game was non-existent during that stretch and quarterback Ty Simpson has lost confidence, throwing four of his five interceptions this season over his last four starts.
