When you think of the Oklahoma Sooners, what is the first thing you think of? The very first thing we think of is Crimson and Cream dancing around on the Football Field. But what is the second? Well, we think of the seven national championships decorating the Sooner Trophy Case!

Oklahoma has won a total of 7 National Championships.

1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, 2000.

With any luck and some Sooner Magic, this list will continue to grow!
