STILLWATER, Okla. - We all know Bob Stoops' theory on the whole good loss vs. bad loss thing by now.
A good loss is akin to having a good bout with kidney stones. There's no such thing.
Here's another theory: Stoops' streaking Oklahoma football team looks like the kind nobody wants a part of right now after the No. 3 Sooners all but locked up their spot in the College Football Playoff with a 58-23 Bedlam beatdown of Oklahoma State on Saturday night in Boone Pickens Stadium.
There's some irony here, too, because nobody in the playoff is going to have a worse loss this season than the Sooners, who were ambushed by rival Texas, 24-17, back on Oct.
