Oklahoma’s National Championships Explained (Factoid 69 )

Date: 2/21/14

The Oklahoma Sooners have won 17 national championships in Division One, and the Sooners claim seven of these titles. Three of the 17 titles are retroactive selections. We have used every major selector that is officially listed in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records¹. The Sooners have won seven Consensus National Championships², which were awarded from 1950 onward.

Since there was no BCS championship game or playoffs during most of this time period, we are not going to judge which selectors are correct or not because no one knows; you would have to play the game. To get to a fairer method of selecting champions, put in your vote for your preferred playoff format: Vote!
