The Gators of Florida destroy Jim Harbaugh's Wolverine dream... The Cotton Bowl: Clemson 23, Clemson without their All-American defensive end, and two other defensive starters, due to steroids) VS- Notre Dame 3... The Orange Bowl: Alabama, #1 ranked, versus the high-flying Sooners and Heisman Trophy winner, who oh by the way do not have a defense to speak of.... Alabama's defense is ranked 10th in the nation, while the Sooners defense is ranked 100 something... On paper, Oklahoma probably won't offer up too much resistance against Alabama. The Sooners might score 49.5 points per game, but they allow 448 yards and 32 points per game. Those 448 yards rank 108th nationally. Even though some of that is because the offense is so deadly and can score quickly, that's still a huge discrepancy among the rest of the CFP four — Alabama averages more points than Oklahoma, but even the Tide surrender only 295.4 yards per game (10th in the country). Bama vs Sooners outcome, my guess- Alabama 39 points, Oklahoma 17 points. Second guess, Alabama 42 points Oklahoma 14... Alabama should win this hands down walking away. If anyone watched the Oklahoma versus West Virginia game, a 59/ 56 OU blowout Fiasco, you would have seen two teams with high-flying offenses, but no defense to speak of... Roll Tide Roll Plenty of other good college games coming up in the days to come. A 62-yard Clemson touchdown; score Clemson 39/ Notre Dame a measly 3 points
At the end of the first quarter, the Sooners have zero yards rushing and 0 yards passing and 0 points... Halftime score Alabama 31 / Oklahoma 10
