The 1962 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the Big Eight Conference during the 1962 NCAA University Division football season. In their sixteenth season under head coach Bud Wilkinson, the Sooners were 8âÂÂ2 in the regular season (7âÂÂ0 in conference) and played their home games on campus at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.
In the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day, the Sooners were shut out 17âÂÂ0 by fifth-ranked Alabama and finished at 8âÂÂ3.
Three Sooners were selected in the 1963 NFL draft.
After the season in early January, 31-year-old assistant coach Eddie Crowder, a former Sooner quarterback, was hired as head coach at the University of Colorado, also a member of the Big Eight.
