Yes, 2 more appeared on their stadium the year they moved to the SEC. They added a conference championship, too, for a year when they didn't even make the conference championship game.

I think we can all agree that Notre Dame, the Big 10, and the Rose Bowl have held back changes that would result in us having a more clear national champion.

OU could claim as many as Bama we were named national champions atleast 6-7 more times but we only claim consensus titles not UPI or any other service not named ap and coaches poll together . BCS is obvious you win you win some schools usc auburn have claimed titles without actually playing for one .

UPI was the Coaches Poll, I believe.

Pre-BCS, split titles were unfortunately too common. I'm also not a fan of retroactively claimed titles. If Georgia tried to claim 1946, I'd take issue with it.

The UPI poll *IS* the Coaches' poll.

quote:

It was initially published by United Press – known from 1958 as United Press International (UPI) – from 1950 through 1990, followed by USA Today/CNN from 1991 thru 1996, USA Today/ESPN from 1997 to 2004, and USA Today from 2005 to the present.


The thread limited itself to the same titles that OU claims; Alabama has simply won more of them (AP/UPI (Coaches)/BCS/Playoff) than OU.

You can claim anything you want. You can claim you are a dinosaur. That doesn’t mean you are a dinosaur.

The NCAA recognizes 16 national titles for Alabama. The NCAA recognizes 7 national titles for Oklahoma. Five of those came 50 years or more ago.

I love how all I have to do is post facts about Ole Miss’ football program and Ole Miss fans think I’m trolling them. Hilarious.

This is the ncaa recognized national titles the ncaa claims have been won and OU only claims 7

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.

1. Oklahoma 16 '03, '00, '86, '85, '80, '78, '75, '74, '73, '67, '57, '56, '55, '53, '50, '49
2. Alabama 15 '12, '11 '09, '92, '79, '78, '77, '75, '73, '66, '65, '64, '61, '45, '41
OU didn’t claim ones we didn’t win Bama has ….. just the facts . Just because one service gives you a title doesn’t mean it’s a legit title when their were clearly a better team in each of the years we didn’t claim it . I don’t know how old that list is but it’s on sooner sports . OU has been undefeated and still didn’t claim titles a few years .

Nah. It’s tough to do less with more, but these two programs achieved that.

In fairness to Arkansas, they got robbed in ‘64. At the time, AP and UPI (Modern day Coaches poll) awarded the MNC before bowl games.


Missouri should have been NC in 1960 as well if we're all being fair and not trolling.

2003 caught my eye since OU lost to LSU in championship game. Your list isn’t the same as NCAA web site.

Neither did Mizzou.

What "route" are you referring to? kansas literally defied a player ineligibility ruling by the NCAA and played them anyway.

That link I posted was from the NCAA website. Here it is again in a different format. You can spin it as much as you want, they will still say Oklahoma has 7 and Alabama has 16.
