NORMAN, Okla. -- For the second consecutive year, ESPN will document a top college football program as they prepare for the upcoming season.
 
College Football Special: Oklahoma All-Access will showcase the Oklahoma Sooners, expected to enter this year as a top-ranked team in various polls, in a one-hour show (August 23) and as a five-part series on College Football Live, SportsCenter and additional ESPN platforms (August 15-19).
 
Last year, ESPN spotlighted the Alabama Crimson Tide. Oklahoma will provide ESPN with extensive behind-the-scenes access into the inner workings of a college football program by giving viewers an inside look at practices, team meetings and activities, and campus facilities for seven days, beginning Wednesday, Aug. 3. College Football Special: Oklahoma All-Access will air on ESPN as two 30-minute episodes Tuesday, Aug. 23, at 6 p.m. CT and 6:30 p.m.
 
A five-part special featuring excerpts from the special access will be televised on College Football Live, SportsCenter and additional studio programs August 15-19. Each episode will be presented in the players' and coaches' own words as Oklahoma prepares for its quest for a national championship. ESPN will capture aspects of Oklahoma on and off the field, going behind-the-scenes and delving into what makes this program run on a daily basis.
 
In 2010, head coach Bob Stoops led Oklahoma to a Big 12 Conference title with a 12-2 record, concluding with a 48-20 victory over Connecticut in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. ESPN has offered viewers similar all-access type segments within SportsCenter, College GameDay Built by The Home Depot, College Football Live and other ESPN shows.
