Rankings from AP Poll

The 1965 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma during the 1965 NCAA University Division football season. Led by second-year head coach Gomer Jones, they played their home games at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and competed as members of the Big Eight Conference.

A longtime assistant under Bud Wilkinson, Jones resigned after the 3–7 season, one of the worst in program history,[1] but remained at OU as athletic director.[2]

Jim Mackenzie, an assistant at Arkansas under Frank Broyles, was hired as head coach in December.[2]
