This forwarded to me from Judge Peter Keltch today:
BOOMER SOONER!

NORMAN, Okla. --Confirming what many Sooner fans already knew, Oklahoma is the winningest program of the modern era of college football. OU has the most victories (513) and best winning percentage (.760) of any team since the end of World War II.

OU has spent more weeks ranked in the top five (342) of the AP poll than any other team and is tied with Notre Dame for most weeks ranked No. 1 (95).
