A History Sparser Than a Freshman's Dorm Room
So, how many times have these two titans of the gridiron actually met? Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a thrilling journey through the annals of college football history...that lasts about as long as a commercial break.
Yep, you read that right. These two teams have only played each other a measly six times! That's fewer matchups than the number of times your uncle Rick has promised to "finally get around to" fixing that leaky faucet.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Who Ya Gonna Call? Not the Ghostbusters, That's For Sure
Here's a quick rundown of their head-to-head record:
- Oklahoma: 2 wins (they're probably still bragging about it)
- Alabama: 3 wins (don't worry, Oklahoma fans, we're sure they're not holding a grudge)
- Ties: 1 (because, hey, sometimes college football just wants to be different)
So, the Crimson Tide has a slight edge, but it's definitely not a blowout. This makes every Oklahoma-Alabama clash a must-watch event, because you just know it's gonna be a battle for the ages (or at least a really good afternoon of watching grown men in brightly colored pajamas chase an inflated pigskin).
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
