OU football: Few college programs can match Sooners' legacy

When it comes to college football royalty, very few programs can match Oklahoma’s legacy of 896 all-time victories, 48 conference championships, seven national championships and seven Heisman Trophy winners.

FIVE COACHING LEADERS

Bud Wilkinson

Seasons: 17 (from 1947-63)

Record at OU: 145-29-4

National titles: Three

OU became a power post-World War II under Wilkinson, winning three national titles, 14 conference titles and finishing in the AP Top 10 an amazing 13 times in 17 seasons. The Sooners’ 47-game win streak (from 1953-57) is the longest in history of the sport — and it started just three years after a 31-game streak ended.
