He should have at least one more title. The 2003 and 2008 teams were both the best in the country who played terrible in the title games.

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.

I do wonder what would have happened if Jason White was not a statue by the end of the 2003 season. Still think USC was the best team that year though.

2008 is hard considering they lost to Texas, but they were definitely playing incredible football to end that season before tripping on themselves in the title game.

2008 team


They were awesome that year. I think the long lay off hurt the offense. They were also without Demarco Murray.

That 08 year was the best CFB season in recent memory, IMO.
