The first College Football Playoff rankings come out November 4th, and the only one that truly matters is the one revealed after Championship Week.
That one sets the playoff field. All the rest is just projection. Though the AP Poll isn't officially a part of the playoff seeding, only rarely has the committee deviated much from college football's most recognized poll.
Oregon held steady at No. 6 this week's AP Poll released Sunday morning despite a tough win in brutal conditions over 2-6 Wisconsin. They remain ahead of Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Miami in spots 7-10.
