1955 National Champions

It wasn't until the eighth week of the season that the 1955 Oklahoma team took over the No. 1 spot in the rankings.

By then, the Sooners were 26 games into a winning streak that would eventually reach an NCAA record of 47. OU polished off an 11-0 record that included an astonishing four straight shutouts to end the regular season.

In the Orange Bowl game, No. 3 Maryland did manage six points and a halftime lead, but Oklahoma eventually prevailed, 20-6.
