the sooners opened 2008 ranked fourth in both the associated press poll and the usa today coaches' poll. opening with back to back home victories against chattanooga and cincinnati and scoring over 50 points against both opponents would vault oklahoma to number two in both polls, coupled with, then number three, ohio state's loss and a lackluster victory by, then number two, georgia over south carolina. a road victory at washington where the sooners again scored more than 50 points, a home victory over then undefeated and 24th ranked texas christian university, and a road win at baylor resulted in oklahoma being ranked number one in both polls after then-ranked number one usc tumbled after a defeat at oregon state. the sooners had defeated each of their first five opponents by 25 points or more before facing then-number five texas. in a see-saw battle where oklahoma would take their last lead at 35–30, texas would come from behind with 15 unanswered points to upset the sooners at a neutral field by a final score of 45–35. the sooners could muster up only 48 rushing yards while giving up 161. also of note, the sooners failed to convert on three fourth down attempts and bradford threw two interceptions. oklahoma would fall to number four in the ap poll and number six in the usa today poll, while the longhorns would be the new number one team in both polls. the game would result in controversy later in the season. oklahoma would rebound by defeating then-ranked sixteen kansas at home and a road win at kansas state. by the week 8 rankings, oklahoma would be ranked fourth in the ap poll, fifth in the usa today coaches' poll, and debut at fourth in the bcs behind undefeated texas, alabama, and penn state. the sooners would then go on to defeat their next three opponents by more than 30 points each, scoring 60 or more points. a home victory over nebraska, a road win at texas a&m and another home win over then-ranked #2 texas tech would result in some controversy. along with an upset of texas at the hands of texas tech and a previous loss by penn state against iowa, oklahoma was ranked 3 in the associated press poll and number 2 in the usa today coaches' poll ahead of texas. however, texas would be number two in the bcs followed by oklahoma at number three. alabama would hold number one in all polls with an undefeated record. closing out the season with a win against oklahoma state and alabama's loss to florida would leave the sooners at number two in the associated press poll, and number one in both the usa today coaches' poll and the bcs. the result of the three-way tie between oklahoma, texas, and texas tech in the big 12 south standings, where each team suffered one loss at the hands of the other, would be the cause for many fans, particularly texas fans, to cry foul. the big 12 tie-breaker in this scenario was for the team with the highest bcs ranking to go on to play for the big 12 title. beating 19th ranked missouri in kansas city assured oklahoma of a number one ranking in both the usa today coaches' poll and the bcs, despite a number two ranking in the associated press poll. texas would finish number three in all polls, rendering them ineligible to play in the title game. additionally, quarterback sam bradford would win the heisman trophy and be named the associated press player of the year for the 2008 season. on january 8, 2009, the sooners were defeated by the florida gators for the bcs championship at dolphin stadium in miami by a score of 24–14. this was the fourth time that the sooners were playing for the national championship under coach stoops.
