Another SEC game with massive College Football Playoff implications is coming to Bryant-Denny Stadium.

No. 4 Alabama will host No. 11 Oklahoma in the Crimson Tide’s final home SEC game of the 2025 season. The Sooners are the third home game where the Crimson Tide is looking for revenge, avenging 2024 losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee with home wins in 2025.

As Alabama-Oklahoma nears, consensus is leaning toward the Crimson Tide. According to BetMGM, Alabama is a 6-point favorite against the Sooners.

Alabama kicks off against Oklahoma at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday, Nov. 15 on ABC.

Here are The Tuscaloosa News’ predictions for Alabama vs. Oklahoma.

Alabama vs Oklahoma predictions

  • Colin Gay: This game feels completely different than a year ago, one with clear College Football Playoff implications hovering over Bryant-Denny Stadium. But just like Vanderbilt and Tennessee before them, Alabama had revenge on its mind, something that should be enough to carry the Crimson Tide to another SEC home victory.
  • Chase Goodbread: A year after Oklahoma eliminated Alabama from College Football Playoff contention, the Crimson Tide can all but do the same to OU. Meanwhile, UA’s own postseason aspirations have largely come down to winning this game. From a motivational standpoint, Alabama’s needle will be in the red.

Alabama vs Oklahoma scouting report: What we’re watching

  • Colin Gay: Which defense can reign supreme? Will Oklahoma turn Alabama one-dimensional and force the outcome squarely on the shoulders of quarterback Ty Simpson? Or will Alabama follow Texas’ lead and stifle the Sooners run game and force John Mateer to beat the Crimson Tide with his arm?
  • Chase Goodbread: Can Alabama’s passing attack carry the day against the best defense in the SEC? There’s no reason to think UA won’t be one-dimensional offensively, given its run game struggles, which means UA QB Ty Simpson will likely have to play one of his best games to date.
