I am wondering how much influence the AP/Coaches polls will have next week now that they have seen the College Football Playoff Rankings this week (not that it matters).  Will voters move OSU and Baylor down (assuming both win)?  I took a look at last year's rankings from Week 10 - 16 and the top 4 - 6 differed week-to-week between the AP and CFP Rankings.

I am sure we all remember last year's Week 16 AP vs CFP Ranking discrepency

1 Alabama Alabama Alabama
2 Oregon Florida State Florida State
3 Florida State Oregon Oregon
