For a second straight season, Alabama suffered a key loss to Oklahoma, losing its second game of the season to the Sooners on Saturday which had massive implications for both teams as far as the CFP.

Oklahoma kept its hopes alive in the SEC race following a road upset at Alabama. Can the Sooners still make the conference title game?

Freeze is one of three full-time head coaches since 1948 to finish a tenure without a win against Auburn, joining Bryan Harsin and Doug Barfield. Cadillac Williams also led Auburn to a loss to Alabama as interim coach in 2022 as did Bill Oliver in 1998.

Navy, Tulane, North Texas and the East Carolina Pirates all have one loss in conference play. None of those four teams play each other in the next two weeks. Navy owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over North Texas, while Tulane beat East Carolina earlier in the season.
