Oklahoma ahead of Ohio State was the right call by the CFP committee

The anticipation leading into the newest College Football playoff selection committee's rankings ratcheted up once Ohio State beat Michigan.

Who would the selection committee put in a better position to make the final top four? An Oklahoma team without much in the way of a defense, or an Ohio State team with the worst loss among playoff contenders?

The committee went with Oklahoma at No. 5, putting the Sooners in a great position to move up into the final top four on Sunday. It was the right decision for multiple reasons. The biggest is the worst-loss factor.
