Sooners have at least three of the top 10 dynasties
There is a good write up on collegefootballnews.com that puts into perspective Florida’s attempt to reach “dynasty” level. Namely, they have to climb over at least three of the top 10 college football dynasties that wore Oklahoma jerseys. You can see the article here.
At number 1 is, of course, Coach Bud Wilkinson’s 1953-58 teams that went a phenomenal 60-3-1 and achieved the college football record 47-game win streak.
This is a good list. And, this doesn’t even take into account the Stoops era, which is well on its way to achieving what Switzer’s teams did during the 70s and 80s.
I’m sure we will hear from the ESPN simpletons that whatever team is staying at No. 1 during the season is the “greatest college football team of all-time” (we hear that every year about some team, including in the fairly recent past the Sooners). Maybe some day these pundits can do their homework like this writer did.
