Factoid 21 - Oklahoma is fifth in NCAAF National Championships with 17

The Oklahoma Sooners hold the record of the fifth most NCAA football championships with 17 of them.

The Sooners won their first national championship with Bennie Owen as their coach; it would be his only national championship. Other coaches who have won the national championship for Oklahoma are Bud Wilkinson (6), Chuck Fairbanks (1), Barry Switzer (7), and Bob Stoops (2).

I don’t know that many would recognize Bob Stoops’ second title as it was picked by the Berrymen mathematical selector, which most not have been perfect, because Oklahoma lost to LSU by a score of 14 to 21 in the BCS National Championship game.
