Unfortunately, though, the Sooners have become better known for failing to finish the job with OU teams that probably should have won a national title.
Bob Stoops’ Sooners won a national championship in 2000, his second season as head coach. That is the most recent national title won by Oklahoma, although the Sooners have had a number of opportunities since then.
Three other times between 2001 and 2008, Oklahoma was one of the final two teams that played for the BCS national championships. All three times, the Sooners came up on the losing end.
The Sooners have also been regular participants in the College Football Playoff.
