By itself, that statement may not seem that surprising, given that the Sooners have won 13 Big 12 championships in football since 2000, appeared in four BCS national championship games in the first 10 years of the new century and have been to four College Football Playoffs in the last five season. In addition to that, four Oklahoma players have been awarded college football’s highest individual prize, the Heisman Trophy, in the first two decades of the 2000s and three more have finished No. 2 in the Heisman voting.
Oklahoma’s 219 total wins and .817 winning percentage over the past 20 years is the best in two consecutive decades in the program’s long, distinguished history.
