Weekend college football was good for Georgia and bad for Alabama in the AP Top 25. The Bulldogs are now in the top four. The Crimson Tide’s first homecoming loss since 2001 dropped Alabama to number ten. Oklahoma outlasted the Tide and that pushed the Sooners to number eight

The Crimson Tide’s path to the College Football playoffs just got a little more complicated. Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer suffered his first hometown loss, and the Tide lost its first homecoming game since 2001. That was against LSU. Since then, Alabama has won twenty one homecoming games.

Revenge? Dirty tricks? Ty Simpson’s Heisman hopes? All of these issues have come up ahead of Alabama’s game against Oklahoma. Homecoming games are often depicted as a chance for students and alumni to gather and watch an easy win. The Crimson Tide may have to deal with allegations in the press from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin.

Auburn fired coach Hugh Freeze on Sunday, moving on after the Tigers lost for the 12th time in their last 15 Southeastern Conference games. This means the Crimson Tide will soon face two teams led by interim coaches after the LSU Tigers also fired Brian Kelly for a similar disappointing performance on the field.

Alabama hasn't looked the same since coach Nick Saban's retirement. It raises speculation about the future of his replacement, Kalen DeBoer. The eighth-ranked Crimson Tide have dropped three of their last four games following a 31-17 loss at Florida State on Saturday, a game in which the Seminoles bullied Alabama on both sides of the ball.

The Alabama Crimson Tide punched its ticket to the Southeastern Conference tournament with last week’s buzzer beater over cross state rival Auburn. Kentucky won its chance to play the Crimson Tide just last night with a win over Oklahoma. Otega Oweh made a baseline jumper with 0.5 seconds left after No. 15 Kentucky had blown a late lead in the final minutes and the Wildcats beat Oklahoma 85-84 on Thursday night to advance to the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals.

Mark Sears scored twenty two points and had ten assists and number five ranked Alabama dominated in every way for a 107-79 victory over No. 12 and previously unbeaten Oklahoma on Saturday night in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Alabama’s mens basketball team is gearing up for play in the Southeastern Conference. The Tide will face Oklahoma in Tuscaloosa tomorrow after overwhelming the South Dakota State Jack rabbits last weekend one hundred and five to eighty two.

Aden Holloway made eight 3-pointers and scored 26 points off the bench, and number 5 ranked Alabama overwhelmed South Dakota State with 19 made 3-pointers in a 105-82 victory on Sunday.

Number 5 based Alabama looks to extend its four-game win streak with a victory over South Dakota State. The teams square off Sunday for the first time this season. Alabama is 5-0 at home, and South Dakota State is 0-3 on the road. The Crimson Tide are 5-0 on their home court.
