The Oklahoma Sooners Were Easily The Best College Sports Team In 2015-16
The Oklahoma Sooners are your 2015-16 sports champions and they crushed the competition. It’s not even close. The Sooners made their way into the College Football Playoff and also had a Final Four berth, a softball national championship and a gymnastics championship (which no one cares about and they didn’t even need to have in order to be the best). Yeah, sorry Alabama, that natty you guys got in football wasn’t enough to put you on top.
CBS Sports rated every FBS program in the three major sports — football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball — plus two “wild card” sports, where they picked the best performing team from baseball, men’s lacrosse, men’s ice hockey, men’s soccer, men’s volleyball, men’s gymnastics, wrestling, women’s lacrosse, women’s ice hockey, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball or women’s gymnastics. Football received 2.5X as many points than the other sports, while men’s basketball received twice as many points.
Here are the top 10 athletic programs from the last year:
There are really only two sports that matter here when we are talking athletic supremacy: football and men’s basketball. Even taking that into account, the Sooners are still on top. So, congrats Oklahoma, you can talk shit to every other school in the nation by saying you have the best athletics. Be sure not to confuse athletics with words like “best football team” or “best baseball team,” though, because that’ll get you in trouble.
For the record, SMU beat UCF. I only say this because our own Dan Regester has gone on record saying that the UCF Knights are going to be at least a 9-win football team this fall. Quite the turnaround for a team that didn’t win a single game last year. Yes, I am betting money with him on this..

9 years ago at 1:47 pm24-17
9 years ago at 3:33 pm5-7
9 years ago at 12:19 pmAnd the states with the most heartbreaking endings were Oklahoma and North/South Carolina:
9 years ago at 1:36 pmOklahoma: lost in final four, lost in CFP, lost vs GSW.
Carolinas: lost super bowl, lost final four (in the most heartbreaking way imaginable) and Clemson lost the in the championship.
Plus native son Steph Curry blew a surefire championship when the Cavs were down 3-1. The Carolina Curse is real.
9 years ago at 1:52 pmWell, minus a miraculous Coastal Carolina College World Series win and a Dustin Johnson Major…
9 years ago at 2:11 pmI doubt Duke, NC, NC State, West Carolina, Clemson and South Carolina fans give ashit about the baseball title, but fair point in Dustin Johnson.
9 years ago at 2:16 pmPlus UNC winning both the men’s and women’s lacrosse championship.
9 years ago at 7:50 pmCarolina never lost in the final four, they lost in the championship.
9 years ago at 3:18 pmIt’s still referred to as “Final Four”. Do you even watch basketball?
9 years ago at 5:32 pmNo it fucking isn’t. They lost in the championship game. What’s the matter with you.
9 years ago at 1:05 amAs a Duke fan I considered the Carolina loss in the championship game a victory
9 years ago at 10:49 pmIt’s the goddamn FINAL FOUR. Don’t argue. Watch a game.
9 years ago at 2:24 amYou forget to take your meds again chief?
9 years ago at 5:24 pmOklahoma also lost Kevin Durant to GSW
9 years ago at 7:36 amExactly. Im a die hard Sooner fan, but Im tired of championship blue balls. We always blow big games and play like dogshit when it actually counts. High expectations lead to a lot of disappointments unfortunately.
9 years ago at 8:19 amFuck the oklahoma football team. So “brave” for putting up with white privileged fraternity bros yet get away with beating and assaulting women.
9 years ago at 1:48 pmJesus
9 years ago at 1:50 pmFuck Joe Mixon**** for punching a woman who happened to assault him first. We don’t likenit when people generalize us Greeks, so I don’t think it’s fair to say that all of their football team is guilty for the actions of the few.
9 years ago at 2:21 pmdown to his are bullshit.
9 years ago at 11:02 pmDoesn’t matter if you don’t win the ship
9 years ago at 1:48 pm37-17 & 40-6
9 years ago at 3:35 pmFootball, basketball, and baseball are the only sports that matter
9 years ago at 5:12 pmThe 1980 men’s Olympic hockey team might disagree with that statement.
9 years ago at 6:01 pmFootball is the only thing that matters.
9 years ago at 5:40 pmIf Sparty beats a shit 15 seed Oklahoma wouldn’t be talked about right now.
And by the way. Hook em fucking Horns.
