Alabama may have lost the SEC Championship game but it did not lose them a place in the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide has been assigned a rematch with Oklahoma. Despite the Tide losing to the Sooners just weeks ago and having this new game take place in Norman, FanDuel has opening odds of Alabama being favored by 1.5 with an Over/Under of 40.5. The game takes place on Friday, Dec 19 which gives the Tide almost two weeks to heal up.
OKLAHOMA
The Sooners sat at home on Saturday as the SEC Championship raged on.
