Bowen brothers help strengthen Oklahoma's playoff chances with upset of Alabama

That was an early seismic swing in the game as it not only took potential Alabama points off the board, but it also gave Oklahoma seven points. It was at least a 10-point swing and potentially a 14-point swing. In a game that was decided by only two points, it was a game-changer. 

In the fourth quarter, with Alabama attempting to drive for a potential game-winning field goal, Peyton Bowen ended up making the decisive play to break up a Simpson fourth-down pass to deliver the knockout punch for the game. 

Oklahoma entered Saturday's game on the outside of the playoff picture despite its No. 11 ranking, but will almost certainly be back into the mix following a road win over a top-five team.

With games against unranked Missouri and LSU remaining on the schedule, the Sooners may have very well put themselves into a position where simply taking care of their own business the rest of the way might be enough.
