You can't tell me Alabama or Florida has that much more talent than Oklahoma.

I don't think OU's OL is quite to its usual standard this season, due to injuries and a few key guys retiring or walking away from the program. It certainly isn't as good as when Fat Phil Loadholt was there.
I'd say there's a big gap between Alabama's OL and ... well, everyone's, honestly. Also, what Alabama does on offense is much more about the OL than a team like OU (that's running basically spread offense concepts and trying to throw the ball around and use quick skill guys).
Alabama is pretty classic ground and pound. That type of approach is going to be a little more successful, usually, against a smaller DL than a team that throws it a ton.
Oklahoma threw the ball 43 times against KSU and ran it 27. If Bama runs 70 plays against KSU, I'd expect it to be something like 45 runs and 25 passing plays.
