Here’s another comparison. This top-ranked Bama team bears an amazing resemblance to a team near and dear to the heart of Sooners: the 2000 Oklahoma team.

→Both coached by no-nonsense, defensive-minded coaches in their second year on the job. Bama’s Nick Saban and OU’s Bob Stoops.

→Both 12-0 going into showdowns against second-ranked offensive juggernauts from Florida.
