I remember the National title...and then in 2002 when they whipped Wazzu in the Rose Bowl and thought...nobody is ever going to beat this team again.
Then the butt-whooping in the Orange Bowl - and that was the beginning of the end.
But people forget how much swagger Oklahoma had from 2000-2003. Holy Shite, they were the baddest boys on the planet.
That loss to K-State in the Big12 championship game - by getting their butt whooped...Really fricked with their psyche forever. Oklahoma was never the same after getting whipped by K-State...never the same. They were done a minute after that game.
They were emotionally shattered as a coaching staff that was previously owning the world and being declared the greatest team of all-time.
They went into the Sugar Bowl that year with their tail between their legs.
LSU beat their butts...And then USC total annihlated them the next year.
And that was basically it for Oklahoma being a real contender...although they get the love and votes...the big bully was long gone.

He's damn near identical to Bill Self in terms of regular season conference success.
OU had a time window from 00-05 where they really underachieved in the postseason. He had some absolutely loaded teams but always managed to drop 1 or 2 here and there. The LSU loss combined with the USC skulldragging put his program down a tier that they haven't gotten back to, including the Bradford years. That team was an offensive juggernaut but not as complete as his 00-05 teams. I'd put him top 15 maybe? He's a douche and I don't like him but it's probably where he belongs
