Oklahoma, an unranked team, defeated No. 7 Alabama 24-3, handing the Crimson Tide their largest loss since the 2018 College Football Playoff title game against Clemson. Alabama's record now stands at 8-3, marking their first three-loss season since 2010 and their largest loss to an unranked team since 1998 against Virginia Tech. The defeat, in which quarterback Jalen Milroe threw three interceptions, likely ends Alabama's hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. The victory represents the biggest win of Brent Venables' tenure at Oklahoma; Venables was Clemson's defensive coordinator during their 2018 victory over Alabama, adding further significance to the upset. The result adds further chaos to the SEC and shakes up the CFP rankings.
