Ty Simpson and the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide were upset by the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners 23-21 on Saturday, setting up major movement in the College Football Playoff rankings.

For the first time under head coach Kalen DeBoer, the Alabama Crimson Tide have lost inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

A matchup between two highly-ranked teams, Alabama actually outgained the Sooners in total yardage Saturday in Tuscaloosa, 406-212, but were plagued mightily by three very costly turnovers.

Alabama football’s undefeated run through the Southeastern Conference has come to an end.

Oklahoma beat Alabama, 23-21, on Saturday, Nov. 15, the Crimson Tide’s first inside Bryant-Denny Stadium since Sept. 9, 2023, and its first in an SEC home game since Nov. 9, 2019.
