In 1950, the NC was decided before the bowl games were played...bowl games were just for fun.
It was probably that way throughout the 1950s.
But this brings up another question. OU only claims NC from AP. Since we are joining the SEC, should we claim the others?
Various organizations have named National Champions in college football since 1869.Utilizing the selectors as recognized by the NCAA, Oklahoma has been recognized for 17 different seasons: 2003, 2000, 1986, 1985, 1980, 1978, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1967, 1956, 1955, 1953, 1950, 1949 and 1915.

In Oklahoma's defense, we went undefeated in 1949 (35-0 win over LSU in bowl) and 1954 (ineligible for bowl due to conference rules on consecutive bowls). So if people want us to trade 1950 for 1949 and 1954 then we'll take it.
