A fun Big 12/SEC Challenge game is set for Saturday afternoon when the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide (18-2) visit the Oklahoma Sooners (11-9). Alabama might be the best team in the nation, and they enter this one on a nine-game winning streak. Oklahoma is on a three-game losing streak and a win in this one would help their bubble chances.
