...and without being put on probation within 5 years?
I count two non tainted titles for the sooners, (although they were put on probation 5 years after their MNC in 2001, but we will count that one as non tainted)
-1956 probation was for violations that occurred during the 1955 season when OU claimed the MNC. (1 tainted)
-OU also claims the MNC they won while on probation in 1956, even though they were not allowed to go to a bowl game in 1956. (2 tainted)
-Sweeping changes were passed by the poll entities in 1976 as a result of the rampant cheating by the Sooners in the 70s. Remember, the NCAA doesn't recognize a championship in D1 Football. (The Sooner cheating, as well as rampant cheating in the SWC is ultimately what put DKR into retirement.) (3 tainted)
-OU claims the MNC in 1974 because the AP voted them #1. The UPI had decided to stop ranking probation teams when OU went on probation in 1973. USC was the UPI-recognized MNC holder in 1974 (USC rightly claims this as one of their 11 titles.) The 1974 OU team was not allowed to go to a bowl game either. (4 tainted)
-OU's probation expired in the middle of the 1975 season, as such, they were allowed to go to a bowl game. They claim another MNC that year as well. (5 tainted)
