You mean in 2016? When it was awarded retroactively?

Come to think of it, I AM surprised they didn't storm the field in 2016

Let's not forgot about the Missouri Valley domination in 1953 which is the next most recent championship. Point being when you've never actually won anything bedlam is their mythical championship every year. Now that goes away as OU goes to better conference and big 12 gets even more mediocre which is great thing actually for OSU.

Brent Venables has a record of 7-8 vs this mediocre conference lmao.

over the 1945 army team which is one of the best of all time ..


also osu paid to have that "awarded"

He inherited a gutted team lol.

Venables has coached in 8 national championships and has 3 rings. How many national championships has OSU played for in their history?

The story behind Rashod Owens' halftime speech against BYU goes beyond football

91-20-7, enough said!

Congrats to OSU on gutting it out & the comeback yesterday but it's unfortunate the 2 best teams won't be in the championship. Hopefully OSU can keep it close and make a game of it. Texas is big favorite and should blow them out. OSU looks absolutely terrible at times and they're about to be the cream of conference lol.

I have little doubt Texas will win, but since the Red River Rivalry, they’ve been hard to gauge outside the Tech game last Friday. They’ve certainly looked more consistent than Oklahoma State has, which is why I think they’ll win. I guess it depends which OSU shows up and to an extent, what Texas shows up.

OSU has had UT’s number for years and will be the best team they’ve played since the RRS. They were closer to losing to Houston than OSU was…I think it will be fairly close.

Tex is a 13.5 point favorite and those numbers have moved higher from the opening line of 11.5.

ESPN Analytics has the chance of Texas winning at 87.3%.

“Unfortunate the 2 best teams won’t be in the championship.” Haha!
Not sure if y’all realize it or not but comments and whining like these have made this season that much more enjoyable for OSU fans. And the fact that OU fans are rooting for Texas over OSU is another hilarious thing when OSU apparently isnt a rival to OU.
OSU could easily get blown out but I think people are forgetting Texas’ ability to choke. OSU has beat them 6 of the last 8 games.

Take the losses with some grace. You can complain all you want but by definition the two best teams in the Big 12 are in the championship. If OU was so much better as you claim they wouldn't have dropped a game to Kansas.

Well, technically speaking OSU is 9-3 and OU is 10-2. . . .OU #12 OSU #19 in AP Poll, same in the coaches poll. And in the BigXII, both OU and OSU are both 7-2 in conference. Seems to be that everyone in the country, with the exception of OSU folk and Yormark, believes that OU is still the better team. Just sayin'. . . .

However I'm totally stoked that my Ponies are playing in the AAC title game!

OSU is about to be 9-4. :)

Clearly OSU was the (somewhat) better team on November 4, and at the end of the day that’s all that mattered.

At least that is all that mattered according to the revised tie breaker formula.

There were only two teams tied for second, OSU and OU. The "revised" tie breaker formula didn't even come into play.

Hell I was writing it off at this point but maybe there is something to OSU being really lucky this season! LOL. better to be lucky than good…hope it continues this weekend.

Where does this year rank all time for OSU fans if they pull off the upset? Top 5 season? Genuinely curious since they've never played in a Big 12 or National Championship. What about with a loss?

They've had plenty of better/more talented teams in the Gundy era but OU wasn't down and the Big 12 as a whole was much better.

oh of course they have had better teams... but this season could still go down as the all time great. i think it's this one or 2011. big difference i think there is that they even by end of year rankings, might have taken down two top 10 teams in OU and Texas.

They did play for a big 12 championship in 2021. Lost to Baylor by about 5 inches.

Rank all time I don't know. Special for all time? If I were a Pokes fan this season would be way up there. The adversity overcome to get where they are is once in a blue moon. Losing to a bad G5 team 33-7 then improving for a number of games until being blown out by 6 TDs by UCF. Having really bad first halves in the last two games. They never quit. They did what they needed to do and won the games they had to win to put themselves in this position. They have Gordon whose stats are equal to an OSU legend. If the table was turned and my Sooners were in this spot I'd be extremely happy.

i mean they do have their STOLEN VALOR fake natty from 1945

My bad I wasn't thinking about that game since they didn't win. So this is their 2nd time to play in a champ game.

Lifelong OSU fan here, here is my take… This season has been rather forgettable for me. Yeah, we more or less lucked ourselves into the Big 12 Championship game (Luck being the key word there). But Outside of maybe Cincinnati, we haven’t really shown any dominance in any of our games. If anything, the only dominance we’ve seen we’ve been on the receiving end of. I’m not a huge fan of Gundy, but I do have to give him (and Ollie Gordon) credit for getting us to this point. I had pretty low expectations going into this season, so making it this far is definitely a plus. But my expectations going into this weekend are as low as they were at the start of the season. No question, 2011 was our best season since I’ve been around though.

This truly is the thread that keeps on giving.

I’m not in full agreement…. but this was posted by @CFB_Data. <His “unluckiest” team - Nebraska (I count 15 losses since 2018 in which Nebraska had >50% win expectancy based on postgame statistics). >

Accounting for postgame win expectancies, Oklahoma State has been the "luckiest" team this year. Their 9 wins is 4.2 wins above their expected win total of 4.8 this season.

Yeah cause faking military service and being awarded a national championship is the same thing

1945 national champion was the United States Military Academy West Point ... aka Army........ widely considered one of the best college teams of all time ..

thus the joke ..

Really? Even with 3 losses so far…. Two of them highly embarrassing?

two wins against final top 10 teams, and a conference championship. i think the losses almost add to the fact of it being a season with such low expectations early to then being at the top of the conference by the end. so yes.

that is why i think 2011 isn't it. there were hopes of a national championship appearance that year, and it didn't happen. sure they still got the conference title, and a few top wins. but the rollercoaster of this season for them... yes

Interesting spin on embarrasing losses. At least OU's two embarrasing losses were to respectable teams.

As an OU fan I honestly thought that we'd see OU and Texas in the big12 championship game. If it can't be OU then I'd rather it be OSU than any other team. I do feel Gundy is a smarter coach than Sark. Does OSU have the same # of upper level recruits that Texas and OU have? No, and they haven't in any time that I can remember. Gundy does more with less and I applaud him for that. I hate orange but I hate burnt orange more. Go Pokes.

Man it’s been a good season for OSU that was brought a from the brink but it says a lot about the state of the program that people might actually consider this there best season of all time when it included a blow out home loss to a bad G5 team and a blow out loss to the 9th place team in the league. Good turnaround, yes but I wouldn’t put it over 2011 even if they win on Saturday.

That being said, this was appalling and apparently was retaliation to Farmhouse from the AGR's.

They have as good a chance as anyone now that the big boys are gone. Big 12 no longer has any top 10-15 programs nationally so it should be wide open every year for any middling borderline top 25 team to have a shot. Arizona will be very good again assuming QB and WR don't package NIL and transfer and Utah with Cam Rising back would probably slot in as a favorite as well. If OSU can improve their QB play just a bit they certainly could be in the mix assuming Gordon stays healthy. That guy is a prima donna and gets roughed up multiple times a game with numerous outbursts. Next year teams will be scheming for him better. It should be a very competitive league in the absence of any blue bloods. Gundy has always done a good job getting them to play above the level of their talent, question is can he still do it now that they won't have to face top OU & Texas teams or do they play down to lower level of competition now?

"Now that the big big boys/blue bloods are gone, middling borderline top 25 teams, play above their talent" I have to say, I love everything about this post. So many slights and digs crammed in there lol. OSU fans are certainly looking forward to the new conference lineup, especially after going to more Big 12 title games in the last 3 years than Texas and OU combined. Should be fun in the coming years.
