Oklahoma (7-2, 3-2 SEC) at Alabama (8-1, 6-0). From Bryant-Denny Stadium. Brent Venables' Sooners face an inspired Bama squad in Tuscaloosa after toppling the Tide 24-3 last year, holding them without a TD for the first time since 2011. QB Ty Simpson has overseen an eight-game surge for Bama, whose plus-10 turnover margin (SEC-high 16 takeaways) contrasts with a minus-5 for Oklahoma.
