What is at stake?

Alabama and Oklahoma will meet for the first time as conference opponents. Alabama needs a win to strengthen its case for a spot in the College Football Playoff. A third defeat would be too much to overcome. Even with the SEC’s depth, it’s hard to say how much planning power will matter to the selection committee. Oklahoma is trying to achieve bowl eligibility for the 26th straight year, which would extend the second-longest streak in the country. A win here would help take the pressure off Oklahoma coach Brent Venables, who has already fired his offensive coordinator this season.

Key match

Oklahoma defense vs. Alabama QB Jalen Milroe running. Oklahoma, which has been strong defensively all season, ranks 18th nationally in yards allowed per game. Milroe leads the team with 608 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground this season. He also uses his mobility to extend the play so he can throw to his talented receivers.

Players to watch

Alabama: Freshman WR Ryan Williams. Oklahoma occasionally gives up big plays when its dynamic defensive front can’t get to the quarterback. Williams has 40 catches for 767 yards and eight touchdowns.

Oklahoma: LB Danny Stutsman. The midseason AP All-American has continued to anchor a formidable unit. He ranks second in the SEC with 96 tackles, including a career-high 19 tackles last week against Missouri. He also has 7 1/2 tackles for loss.
