Fourth-ranked Alabama didn’t outright label the showdown against No. 11 Oklahoma a revenge game, but the Crimson Tide<\/a> once again ended up in the loss column Saturday.<\/p>\n

After defeating Alabama 24-3 in Norman last year, the Sooners traveled to Tuscaloosa this weekend looking to bolster their College Football Playoff chances.<\/a> Oklahoma ultimately did just that, pulling off a 23-21 upset of Alabama.<\/p>\n

Even a raucous Bryant-Denny Stadium crowd failed to derail Oklahoma\u2019s defense from its playmaking trend. The Sooners\u2019 defenders produced 17 points off three turnovers en route to the victory.<\/p>\n

The win boosts Oklahoma\u2019s playoff odds but also injects uncertainty into the Tide\u2019s path to Atlanta for the Southeastern Conference title game. It probably won\u2019t be a fatal blow for Alabama, but the Tide now face a must-win in two weeks against archrival Auburn<\/a> in the Iron Bowl.<\/p>\n

Sooners defensive back Eli Bowen returned an interception 87 yards for a touchdown, while linebacker Kip Lewis had two sacks. OU snapped Alabama\u2019s 17-game home winning streak and handed second-year coach Kalen DeBoer his first loss in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n

The Sooners were a bubble team in last week\u2019s CFP rankings, but Saturday\u2019s win could make them a playoff lock if they can take care of business at home against Missouri and LSU.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alabama had a chance late, but Ty Simpson\u2019s fourth-down pass to Ryan Williams fell incomplete.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma ran out the clock from there, setting off a spirited celebration by its visiting fans. OU held Alabama to 57 yards over its final four drives, which proved to be the difference.<\/p>\n

John Mateer threw for 138 yards and scored on the ground to lead Oklahoma\u2019s offense.<\/a> Simpson passed for 326 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.<\/p>\n

Despite dominating in nearly every category, Alabama made a series of errors which proved costly. In addition to the turnovers, Alabama missed a 36-yard field goal and allowed a 46-yard punt return that set up Oklahoma\u2019s first score.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide host Eastern Illinois next week.<\/p>\n
