As in most sports years at the University of Oklahoma, when all goes well in football, you can chalk it up as a thumbs-up year. The Sooner football team fell just short of capturing a national championship in 2017, losing in the College Football Playoff semifinals to Georgia in double overtime, but winning national championships isn’t something just reserved for football at Oklahoma.
The Sooners were the proud winners of four national championships in 2017. To put that accomplishment into perspective, most college programs are lucky to see a national title in any sport for years at a time, if ever.
