Is it fair that we have to beat Alabama twice to advance, but they only have to beat us once?

I'm just wondering what fellow Sooners think about this. Not only am I not excited to play Bama again, but I also find it unfair to us. We know how hard it can be to beat a team twice, and Bama gets to advance if they win by going 1-1 against us. It just doesn't seem right.
