Sports Illustrated shafts the Sooners

[Tollboothmgr]

So SI just came out with it's list of the 10-best all-time college football programs. And for some unbelievable reason OU is at 10th?! And as if that's not bad enough we are behind barely blue-blood programs like Tennessee and Penn St. Nebraska is higher than us despite the fact we have more conference championships, more overall wins, more weeks in the top 10, the top 5 AND as #1 plus we own the head-to-head! Sure those schools have good to great moments in their history but they pale in direct comparison to the gridiron achievements of OU over the past 70 plus years. Even when you account for the 150-years of College Football that SI cites as the barometer for gauging the 10 all-time best it's so obviously flawed in reference to the Sooners it's unbearable. Seriously Tennessee and Penn St ahead of us? Really??? And did i mention Texas is at 4? I'm gonna puke

Who cares what SI says ?

SI no longer relevant like Sporting News. Soon ESPN will be down that gutter...

SI is just trying to create controversy to get people to look and talk about the article. Pure click bait.

Actually NU has one more ein than our Sooners do but I dont get them being ahead either.

Also a big discussion is going on over at main board with a Texas homer leading the charge.

Was this the same writer who claimed that OU’s loss to Boise State was the greatest bowl upset in history ?

I would say Bama 1 and OU 2......could even make a case for that being reversed.

Notre Dame has 11 national championships but also is 17-19 in bowls.

SI has lost its collective minds........47 straight says hello

yep you're right soonerborn they have one more win... I did see our overall winning percentage is quite a few points higher. 72% - 69%
