Alabama is still licking their wounds after getting blown out by Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, but they're still one of the most talented teams in the country. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has exceeded expectations all season, and they'll be looking to continue the trend by making a playoff run, starting with a win against the Crimson Tide. Read on to learn where to watch Alabama vs Oklahoma live without cable.

Oklahoma's offense hasn't looked the same since quarterback John Mateer had surgery on his throwing hand in September, but their defense is still one of the best in the nation. Sooners fans are hoping that Mateer will be back in early-season form after having the last three weeks off to rest and recover.
Alabama stumbled across the finish line on their way into the playoffs, dropping two of their last four games, including a 28-7 blowout loss against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. That said, they have one of the most talented rosters in the country, and they gave Oklahoma everything they could handle in the regular season.
Despite losing the first time around, the Tide have to feel good about how they match up against the Sooners. Alabama arguably looked like the better team for most of the game, outgaining Oklahoma 406 yards to 212. The difference in the game was ultimately Alabama's -3 turnover differential.
Oklahoma can't expect to keep winning against good teams unless their offense can recapture some of the magic from the first month of the season. Mateer was an early-season favorite for the Heisman Trophy, and he may need to play that well again for the Sooners to put together a postseason run.
It doesn't get better than an SEC rematch in the first round of the College Football Playoff. You can watch Alabama vs Oklahoma on ESPN Unlimited, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and more on Dec. 19.
