Back in the year 2000, Bob Stoops and Josh Heupel led the Oklahoma Sooners to their first Big 12 Championship appearance. Following a hard-fought victory over Kansas State, the conference title game would (for the most part) continue to be kind to the Oklahoma program. In the 11 seasons from 2000-2010, the Sooners would appear in the game a total of eight times and would win seven of those contests. A trip to the Big 12 Championship game was becoming a tradition for Oklahoma and its fans, but conference realignment took it away from them. It returns in 2017 to mixed feelings at best and won’t do much — or anything — to help Oklahoma this season.
