We discuss last night's basketball loss to Purdue before breaking down Alabama's football matchup against the Sooners. | Episode 568

Typically, you’ll see cartoonish caricatures of Big Al, Bear Bryant, Nick Saban, and now Kalen DeBoer and other current Crimson Tide stars, likely Ty Simpson and Ryan Williams. UA sororities always deliver the goods, getting even more spectacular each year, with intensely pomped designs of famous Alabama coaches, players, moments and more.

OU football travels to face Alabama on Saturday. Can the Sooners stay alive in the College Football Playoff race? Here are our predictions.

Jam Miller, Daniel Hill and the rest of the Alabama run game have averaged 3.5 yards per touch in 2025, which is the lowest for a Crimson Tide team since 1995, when Dennis Riddle led a rushing offense that averaged 2.7 yards per carry.

Alabama football still controls its own destiny with three games remaining on its 2025 schedule. The Crimson Tide is in position to earn a first-round bye if they win out, and a loss to either Oklahoma or Auburn is not expected to keep them out of the playoff.

As things currently stand, Alabama is a playoff team but with three games left in the season. This week on the Beat Everyone podcast, Ben Flanagan was joined by SEC Network’s Cole Cubelic and Cubelic discussed how Oklahoma’s defense may be a deciding factor in Saturday’s game.

Several of Russell's Alabama teammates showed support in the comment section, including Simpson. Russell is expected to be Alabama's starting quarterback within the next few seasons but for now, he's been learning from Simpson. Alabama hosts Oklahoma (7-2) at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ABC.
