For all practical purposes, the top four selected by the committee are still going to be the four competing for the title. Everyone else technically in the field will be at a very large disadvantage. I'll be shocked in the champion doesn't come from the Top 4 upwards of, conservatively, 90% of the time.

It probably will, but I think that would be true no matter how you set the playoffs up. That's because the best team is usually in that top 4, heck many years even the top two. I will say in the first 10 years, there will be a 5 or higher seed to win it all. Of course it will probably be some team like Alabama.
