Oklahoma may want to avoid the SEC for the foreseeable future, at least as long as the Sooners have a Heisman Trophy winner.

Since 2003, LSU against Jason White, Florida against Sam Bradford, Georgia against Baker Mayfield and Alabama against Kyler Murray, the SEC has toppled the Sooners and their Heisman-winning QBs. While two of them came at the hands of Nick Saban-coached teams, proud SEC fans will be quick to note that the four different teams takes away from the narrative that Alabama carries the SEC.

It also flies in the face of Bob Stoops comments from several years ago that it’s “propaganda” that the SEC is the best conference.

It’s certainly impressive that Oklahoma can boast four Heisman-winning players, much less quarterbacks, in 15 years. But this stat delivers a strong argument about the staying power and dominance of the SEC, because the Sooners weren’t only these quarterbacks, and these were significant bowl games.
