The answer is yes, but there are two different ways to look at it, depending on what you mean by "in 2001". Do you mean the 2001 calendar year or the 2001 football season? If you mean the 2001 calendar year, then the Sooners won the Orange Bowl (which doubled as the BCS National Championship Game), on January 3, 2001 (but this is considered the last game of the 2000 season). If you mean the 2001 season, the Sooners won the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 2002.

The Cowboys have 509 wins, 518 losses, and 48 ties from their first game in 1901 through their final game of 2009. They lost their first game by a score of 12 to nothing against Kingfisher College, so although they haven't broke .500 yet, they are improving. There is no official report concerning whether T. Boone Pickens attended the first game.
The Rose Bowl is the oldest college bowl game, starting in 1902, and there are three bowl games that started play in 1935 and are tied for second oldest (Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and Sun Bowl). Next comes the Cotton Bowl whose first game was in 1937.
1998-Tennessee Volunteers 1999-Florida State Seminoles 2000-Oklahoma Sooners 2001-Miami Hurricanes 2002-Ohio State Buckeyes 2003-Louisiana State Tigers 2004-Southern California Trojans 2005-Texas Longhorns 2006-Florida Gators In 2003 USC THINKS they deserve it, but they never played in the National Championship game so they could NOT be considered National Champions. LSU played & WON the game so therefore they ARE THE ONLY National champions for 2003.
The Iowa Hawkeyes did not play in a bowl game for the 2007 season.
