Although the totality of Sooner football goes back 125 years, the last 75 are the ones we’ve heard about the most. And there is a simple reason for that. Very few schools have accomplished on the gridiron what OU has over the past 75 years.
Oklahoma has won 908 games in its history. That is tied with Notre Dame for the sixth most in college football history, and the Sooners began play eight years after the Fighting Irish. OU’s .725 winning percentage is the fifth best all-time, trailing only Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Alabama, several of the blue bloods of the sport.
