Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.
  2. ^ a b With his head coaching tenure and interim tenure combined, Stoops' overall record as Oklahoma's head coach is 191–48 (.799).
  3. ^ This may or may not be updated week-to-week. I don't know.
