We have to be ranked at that level in the CFP committees poll.

I 100% agree that AP or Coaches is not the CFP committees poll - but I do also believe that committee members will reference the polls, the computer rankings, etc in forming their own opinions. Will it 100% mirror any of those - who knows but I think over time as the CFP committee is felt out members of the AP & Coaches will start to be in sync with each other...

And I fully believe there will be some back ground intent to keep teams out and it will be difficult to be ranked high enough by the CFP - but if we do get that ranking they have to take us according to their rules as currently publicized....
