We made it. The moment that every college football fan has been waiting for came and went.

The first of the weekly Tuesday Playoff rankings shows is in the books.

OK, jokes aside, I do find it interesting to see how the selection committee views these teams that we’ve been dissecting for the last 2 months. It’s perhaps not quite as reactionary as the AP Poll, yet it often feels like there’s at least 1 egregious mistake.

In case you missed it, here’s the entire first top 25 of the Playoff poll:

Let’s dig into some takeaways:

1. Ohio State over Georgia isn’t egregious at all

I know that plenty of logical Georgia fans are secretly fired up about the idea of not being No. 1 and how it’ll impact the Dawgs heading into this stretch with 3 consecutive games against ranked foes. But somewhere on the internet, you can find a section of UGA fans who are baffled that the 2-time defending champs are rocking a 25-game winning streak, but not a No. 1 ranking.

Don’t overthink it — Ohio State has better wins. That’s it.

Ohio State beat a 1-loss Penn State team and it won on the road at a 2-loss Notre Dame team. Both of those victories are easily better than anything that’s currently on the UGA résumé. Georgia’s best win is either a blowout neutral-site win against a Florida team who suffered loss No. 3, or a lopsided home victory against a Kentucky team that’s now 5-3.

The selection committee didn’t have to look far beyond that, nor should it have. It wouldn’t have mattered if Georgia had won more convincingly in games against South Carolina and Auburn. Go ask Michigan about what destroying weaker competition does to your résumé. Not much.

Speaking of the Wolverines …

2. Michigan at No. 3 has nothing to do with Connor Stalions and everything to do with Rutgers

That’s not the selection committee’s job. Period.

If the Big Ten or NCAA wants to step in and hand down a sanction, then the selection committee can take the proper course of action. But for now, Michigan only coming in at No. 3 points straight to a résumé that’s softer than 3-ply toilet paper. It doesn’t matter that the Wolverines have an average margin vs. Power 5 competition of +39.6, which is nearly double the next-closest team among the Power 5 1-loss/unbeatens.

If the selection committee had ranked Michigan ahead of Ohio State, what message would that have sent? Strength of schedule doesn’t matter. The Wolverines having consecutive years of dominance against the Buckeyes was never going to factor into that ranking.

If you thought it would, ask yourself why the selection committee ranked Tennessee No. 1 in the first Playoff poll last year even though it hadn’t beaten Georgia in 6 years. It was because Tennessee had quality wins that Georgia didn’t. Obviously, that changed the following week when they faced off. Maybe that’ll happen in a few weeks when Michigan and Ohio State square off.

For now, though, Michigan’s lack of elite wins is the reason for that No. 3 ranking.

3. The team that got more love than I thought? No. 12 Mizzou

No, I didn’t think that the Tigers would start at No. 12. By the way, that’s the highest CFP ranking ever for Mizzou, who is off to its best 8-game start of the Playoff era. That’s a nice hat tip to a program that’s already past last year’s win total. It’s also a tough look for the “this is all about brands” crowd.

What Mizzou does have is a résumé that includes quality wins against No. 23 Kansas State and a 3-score road win at 5-3 Kentucky. While “strength of loss” is the most overrated thing in the Playoff rankings discussion, it’s worth noting that Mizzou led in the middle of the 4th quarter against No. 14 LSU, but squandered that lead for its only loss.

(I imagine the LSU crowd was surprised to see a worse ranking than Mizzou, considering the head-to-head result in Columbia. Number of losses mattered there.)

We know that the Tigers’ story will be defined by the Georgia game, and those upcoming matchups against Florida and Tennessee will also have a say in whether Tuesday’s ranking will be the apex.

For now, though, Mizzou’s No. 12 ranking is good news for Eli Drinkwitz’s program … as well as Smart’s.

4. The team that got less love than I thought? No. 9 Oklahoma

On the rankings show, Greg McElroy and Kirk Herbstreit had an interesting back-and-forth about the head-to-head argument. I tend to side more with McElroy, who argued that head-to-head should be the ultimate tiebreaker for teams with the same amount of losses.

If I’m an Oklahoma fan, I’m not pleased that the Sooners are behind No. 7 Texas. If “but they lost to Kansas” is the argument, consider this a reminder to the casual college football fan that the Jayhawks came in at No. 21 in the first Playoff poll. Yes, I get that Texas has the better overall win because winning by 10 at Tuscaloosa is no joke. The Longhorns deserve immense credit for that.

But a neutral-site, head-to-head win for a pair of 1-loss teams feels like it should’ve tipped the scales in Oklahoma’s favor. Instead, it served as a reminder that this wacky sport often isn’t settled on the field.

5. There are 13 Power 5 teams with 1 or fewer losses, and all of them are in the top 13

How about that? I can’t decide if I like that or if I dislike that.

It’s almost as if the selection committee said, “you know what I don’t want to discuss? Why a 2-loss team is ahead of a 1-loss team. Let’s just give them all the top spots.”

It’s not the worst idea because it does provide a bit of transparency to see that. I mean, it sets the expectation. This is the same committee that has never put a 2-loss team into the field. Clearly, the 2-loss thing is still a major knock.

It begs the question — does LSU have a path to the Playoff with those 2 losses? Beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa — something the selection committee still holds in high regard based on that Texas ranking — and ending Georgia’s winning streak would be a 2-loss résumé unlike any we’ve seen in the Playoff era.

We’ve got time to figure that out. No need to get bent out of shape after the first ranking … says the guy who just wrote 1,000 words on that.

Happy rankings, everyone!
