Well this was way back during the transition between the Bud Wilkinson and Chuck Fairbanks dynastys, couple Heiman trophy winners during that period (who was that OSU Heismann winner back then? Oh yeah, wasn't one!) LOL Little edification reading for you Quack, particularly note the next to last bullet: HideRecord book ESPN ranked Oklahoma as the most prestigious college football program overall since the advent of the AP Poll in 1936. Oklahoma has the most 10+ win seasons (32) and 11+ win seasons (20) of any program, as well as the fewest losing seasons (12) of any program. Oklahoma has been ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll (100 weeks)and in the Top 5 (374 weeks) more than any other team. Oklahoma was given their 10th preseason No. 1 ranking in 2011, another record. In the "modern era", which is post-World War II, Oklahoma has the most wins with 567, and the highest winning percentage (.763) in the country. Oklahoma has the most wins and best winning percentage in college football over the last 75 years (1935-current). Oklahoma is the only school to have four coaches with at least 100 wins each (Stoops, Switzer, Wilkinson, Owen). Oklahoma has had at least one first team all-conference player in 95 of the 96 seasons it has played in a conference. Most modern era NCAA-recognized titles with 16. Oklahoma holds the NCAA record for most consecutive victories with 47-straight (1953–1957). Oklahoma has scored more points than any team in college football history with 31,436 through 2011. No program has more unanimous All-Americans than Oklahoma. OU and Notre Dame have 31 all-time. Oklahoma had an NCAA-record 768 rushing yards in 1988 against Kansas State. Most weeks ranked No. 1 in the BCS with 20 weeks (through 2010 season). Most weeks ranked in top 5 in the BCS with 46 (through 2010 season). Oklahoma has the most rushing yards in a season with 5,635 in 1971, which was 470 yards per game (12 games) Oklahoma holds the NCAA record for the most points scored in a single season with 702 points through 12 games in the 2008 season (58.5 points per game). Oklahoma holds the record for most consecutive 60+ point games, scoring 60 or more points for five straight games in 2008[48] Oklahoma holds the record for most lopsided instate rivalry with a record of 82-17-7 (as of the end of the 2011 regular season) over Big 12 Conference opponent Oklahoma State. In fact the rivalry is so lopsided that Oklahoma has shut out Oklahoma State more times (28 - not including 0-0 ties) than Oklahoma State has won against Oklahoma. In the 2010 NFL Draft, Oklahoma became the only school in the history of the NFL Draft to have three players selected in the first four picks of the draft.[49]
