We’ve taken the guesswork out of it for you in a simulation featuring these four Big 12 championship Oklahoma football teams in Part II, or the semifinal round, of the ‘how we’re filling our shelter-in-place time without sports” series we’re calling the “Sooner Football 2000s Playoff.”
Some background might be in order here. Eight Oklahoma teams made the BCS championship game or the College Football Playoff in the first two decades of the new century. All eight of those teams were quarterbacked by Heisman Trophy winners or runners-up and all but one were Big 12 champions.
Eight times in the 13 decades since 1890 that the University of Oklahoma has been engaged in collegiate football, Sooner teams have won better than 70 percent of their games.
