There has been plenty of excitement over the years with the Oklahoma Sooners football program. Since the year 2000, OU has won 219 games out of a possible 268 opportunities. A winning percentage of 81.7% ranks third among schools since the year 2000. That was the year it all turned around for the Crimson and Cream. Only Ohio State and Boise State had higher winning percentages during that time, even though the Sooners had more totals wins than both teams.
All-Time Winningest Teams
Being the No. 3 winningest team since 2000 is no surprise given the dominance in the Big 12 Conference that the Sooners have enjoyed. In fact, it helped propel them up the list for all-time winningest teams. 247Sports broke down the Sooners on their top 10 list with Oklahoma coming in at No. 6, just ahead of their rivals the Texas Longhorns.
Sooners all-time record: 909-329-53 (72.5%)
247Sports Take…
Four Heisman-winning quarterbacks, including No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray in recent years, have defined Oklahoma’s dominance offensively since 2000 as one of the nation’s most successful programs, but the Sooners’ stretch of success goes back a lot further than that.
Under Barry Switzer in the 1970s and 80s, the Sooners managed double-digit victories 10 times, strengthening their national brand. And you can go ahead and chalk up double-digit victories annually for the Sooners, who haven’t missed a beat since legendary coach Bob Stoops’ retirement before the 2017 season.
After Stoops became the program’s all-time winningest coach over an illustrious tenure, Lincoln Riley is 45-8 as a head coach with four Big 12 championships.
