I think they will. This is the first year of the CFP, and the CFP Committee wants to establish good credibility and avoid controversy, which they get by matching their eventual selections with #s 1-4. If they don't select the same as #s 1-4, then they will face a lot more criticism, which they won't want.
Bwahahaha! They will have a grand time when we get to the end of the season, and there are two undefeated teams and six one-loss teams. Expanding the playoff will only serve to increase the controversy as it will further lower the barrier to inclusion, and thus increase the number of teams who claim to have surpassed that threshold.

Avoid controversy indeed. They have guaranteed it.

ASU is starting to creep up a bit higher than it needs to be feels too high since I don't think they'll be able to stop the run this year (super young defense), but I can't look at any of the teams behind them and say they're clearly a better team.

Yep. FSU are the reigning champs. Until they are beaten they should stay #1 unless they lay eggs against duds multiple times. That is fine.

Its not just that they are defending champs its that they are also the most talented team on paper. When your BOTH the most talented team on paper, and defending champs its very hard to jump them.

The committee doesn't care one bit about the Coaches or AP Poll it will have ZERO effect on there votes. In fact the committee's votes will be far more data driven then the bias coaches, and ap polls.

After their shitfest of a game, both USC and Stanford should have dropped to the 20's.

My eyes are still bleeding after that atrocity.

All I know is even with some of the bitching, if the current teams in the top 4 make the playoffs, it will be EPIC.

Storylines GALORE!

Oregon would finally GET BAMA.

Florida St would get a chance to FINALLY beat those pesky Sooners en route to another chance at a title.

Scintillating!

I didn't think there would be anything more satisfying than watching Urban Meyer's team get their asses kicked @ home.... but the more I think about it, the only thing that would top it is watching Saban cry about the speed of the game after Oregon packs their shit in.

Would make my season.. Please God..

Last night didn't make my season, it made my decade...

As a Hokies fan, God hasn't been too kind to us... He owes us. Last night was the sundae... And I'd like it topped with a cherry dipped in Saban's tears. :yahoo:

Ha. I'm pretty sure he cries battery acid, not tears.
