Oklahoma is going all-in for its first College Football Playoff appearance since 2019. After landing in the new 12-team playoff bracket, the university announced it will shut down its Norman campus on December 19 when the No. 8 Sooners host No. 9 Alabama.
Classes, normal operations, and even local public schools will close so students and staff can attend the game and avoid major traffic issues. Final exams scheduled for that day have already been moved earlier in the week. The matchup is a highly anticipated rematch — Oklahoma beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa in November, snapping the Tide’s home streak with a dominant defensive performance. With a trip to face No. 1 Indiana on the line, the town is fully backing Brent Venables as the Sooners look to defend their strong 7–1 home record.
