Conference play began with a loss in the annual
Red River Rivalry to the
Texas Longhorns on October 8, and ended with a win at home in the annual
Bedlam Series over the
Oklahoma State Cowboys on November 26. The Sooners finished the regular season with a 7–4 record (6–2 in the Big 12), their worst record since
1999, finishing in a tie with
Texas Tech for second in the Big 12 South. They were invited to the
Holiday Bowl, where they upset the
Oregon Ducks, 17–14.
On July 11, 2007, the NCAA announced the Sooners would have to vacate every game from 2005 due to NCAA violations relating to
Rhett Bomar and J.D. Quinn receiving money from a car dealership for work they did not perform. The punishment effectively gave the team a 0–4 record.[1] However, on appeal, those wins were reinstated in early 2008.[2]
The
2006 NFL Draft was held on April 29–30, 2006 at the
Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The following Oklahoma players were either selected or signed as undrafted free agents following the draft.
