Oklahoma has won five-straight Big 12 Championships.
That’s every year since Lincoln Riley arrived from East Carolina in 2015. The Sooners won the last two Big 12 Championships without a conference championship game in 2015 and ’16, then have one each of the Big 12 Championships since the conference championship game returned in 2017.

The 2019 Sooners caused a lot of stress and anxiety for fans. They won three of the last four games by one possession, including the historic 34-31 comeback win over Baylor on the road.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts was a Heisman Trophy finalist while CeeDee Lamb was a Biletnikoff Award finalist for the country’s best pass-catcher regardless of position. Oklahoma’s defense, led by new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, improved in every single category besides turnovers.
The Sooners finished 12-1 in the regular season and were beaten by LSU 63-28 in the College Football Playoff at the Peach Bowl.
