If you're going by the Wikipedia definition, Texas has 4 NC's to Oklahoma's 9, but then again, they give Bama their 12. Of course, by any standard, Oklahoma has more hardware in terms of Conference Champinonships and NCs.
At any rate, we'll see in October. Should be a good game. I'll definitely make the trip.

I wasn't going by Wikipedia....I just went to the Athletic sites of the different programs.
Technically, Oklahoma did win 9 because there were so many different polls used to rank teams. Oklahoma claims 7 because atleast three of those years there were three proclaimed National Champions...OU also lost their Bowl game in one of those early years but still got voted in by a majority of the poll systems. Texas has won 3 NC's undisputed and had one split with Nebraska in 1970.
Alabama is another story.....They claim 12 NC's and are recoqnized as having 12 when they could actually say they have 17 if they wanted. You can read about it here....its kind of interesting.

But yes, OU has won 3 Conference Championships to our 2.....HUGE deficit. Had OU stayed in the Soutwest Conference, then we may have had something to talk about.......
