Oklahoma (12-1) and LSU (13-0) have been on this stage before. The two programs played each other for the 2003 BCS National Championship at the Sugar Bowl. The Sooners lost the game 21-14 making the series record 1-1.

Unlike the 2003 National Championship, this game is not for all the marbles. It is only the first domino that needs to fall. The winner of the Peach Bowl will go on to New Orleans to face the winner of Ohio State (13-0) versus Clemson (13-0).
For LSU it would be as close to a home game as a team can get in a playoff game. For the Sooners, it would be the first time back at the Sugar Bowl since their 45-31 upset win over Alabama following the 2013 season.
Oklahoma and LSU kick off at 3p.m. CT on ESPN.
