Prediction: Oklahoma loses because the game actually matters.

Just like they have almost every game of significance in the 21st century.

You hate any player who sits out your team’s bowl game when the game “doesn’t matter”.

While Oklahoma’s offense will have their fair share of good plays against the Bama D, Bama’s offense against the Oklahoma D may be the biggest mismatch in a championship setting. Saban may leave the punter in Tuscaloosa. I’m hard pressed to see Bama in a third down situation more than half a dozen times.

Clemson is an afterthought because their rise to prominence is newer and we sort of even root for them because of Venables. Alabama is the team that folks around here have been waiting for to play.

Alabama scored 35 on a top 15 defense with a gimpy QB and then his backup.

Alabama will score 90 on OU.

OU scored 38 offensive points on a top 6 (see link below) defense with a sick QB. OU will score at will on Bama.

It will be close during the 1st half, but Bama will blow it open in the 2nd. Bama 57 OU 35.

You're going to hold Alabama to 45? Something you couldn't do to Oklahoma State, Texas and West Virginia, whose offenses aren't as explosive as Alabama's?

Ok...we'll see how that goes.

You linked the 2017 stats.

When you actually use the drop down button and move the category to "2018", you find this:

8. Army (needed overtime to score 28)

Alabama is 12. TCU, the "best" defense you faced in conference play, is 26.

Seriously OU did not face much defense all year, and when they faced a mediocre one struggled to win. I remember when OM was mouthing off like this with the same pop-gun offense.

That same OM team beat the crap out of a Tech team that OU struggled with. This matchup will be over before halftime if Tua plays

Except OU’s defense is a complete joke compared to UGA’s defense.

Bama will wear down OU’s defense and win by 17. Anyone claiming Oklahoma will win is just blowing smoke. They are what a 14 point underdog?
