Although a requirement does not exist, I can't imagine a scenario in which the winner of a 4-team playoff doesn't receive the coach's trophy. Or the nod from the AP
Suppose the AP has Teams ranked in the top 4, but the Playoff Committee takes the AP's #7 team as the 4th playoff team, due to winning a conference. Suppose then, also, that #7 win's 2 games to win the Playoff, and the AP's #4 wins their Bowl while 1,2 and 3 lose.

So #7 wins a playoff against the Top-3 teams... and Team #4 plays an inferior opponent and wins.
Still seems like #7 gets the nod.
However, I see your point. However implausible, it COULD happen.
