No. 12 Oklahoma faces off against No. 14 in the Alamo Bowl, which ranks among the top bowl matchups outside of the College Football Playoff. The Sooners jumped from six to 10 wins in Brent Venables’ second season thanks to a renewed defensive effort. However, Oklahoma lost two games in the middle of the season to ultimately play themselves out of a New Year’s Six game.
On the other side, Arizona made a quarterback change to Noah Fifita in Week 2 and transformed into one of the nation’s top programs. The Wildcats won six straight games to end the year and gave No. 2 Washington one of its toughest battles of the season. Arizona has not won a bowl game since 2015.

These two teams have played twice in history but never in a bowl game. Arizona won the last matchup, a 6-3 decision in Tucson, Arizona, in 1989.
