NORMAN, Okla. -- Blame it on rat traps or "rat poison," but No. 7 Alabama's playoff hopes were dashed Saturday night in a 24-3 loss at Oklahoma.
The Crimson Tide's road woes from earlier this season reared their ugly head again, as a mixture of blunders and blown assignments allowed the Sooners to milk the clock after building a big lead.
Alabama (8-3, 4-3 in the SEC) was in position to punch a ticket to the SEC Championship Game by winning its final two regular-season games. Instead, the Tide will look to avoid further embarrassment during next week's Iron Bowl before watching the College Football Playoff from afar. Meanwhile, Oklahoma (6-5, 2-5) snapped a four-game SEC losing streak while earning bowl eligibility in the process.
Here's a look at how Alabama graded out in all three aspects of the game.
