Now we are taking that one step further — or, actually, a couple of giant steps — and pick the five best Sooner football teams of all-time.
Oklahoma has been playing varsity football for 122 seasons, which is an incredibly large sample size from which to select the five best. Because very few of us know much about, or can even recall anything about the OU teams that played before World War II, we’ve chosen to simplify the selection process, which also will make the outcome more meaningful.
For purposes of this analysis, we have narrowed the parameters to Sooner football teams from the Bud Wilkinson era forward to the present day (1946- present).
