In a stunning upset, the University of Oklahoma Sooners defeated the No. 7 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide 24-3 in Norman, Oklahoma, becoming bowl eligible. This victory marks the biggest win of the Brent Venables era and delivers a severe blow to Alabama's College Football Playoff aspirations. Oklahoma's defense dominated, with Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe throwing three interceptions. The loss is Alabama's largest since their 2018 National Championship defeat to Clemson and their largest to an unranked team since 1998 against Virginia Tech. Fans, who hadn't stormed the field since 2000, prematurely rushed the field with 28 seconds remaining, knocking down both goalposts. Oklahoma was a +1000 underdog entering the game.
