If one goes by the pre-season FPI released by ESPN (yes, yes, I know... taken with a grain of salt and all that), then we have the following matchups:
#1 Ohio State vs #3 Oklahoma
#2 Alabama vs #4 FSU
#5 Auburn vs #7 Clemson
These are within the first two weeks of the season.
Another note is that that, despite having three top 10 teams and 4 in the top 25, the worst SOS for teams in the top 10 all belong to B1G teams. This appears to be because the next highest after those four is Iowa (at #39)
By contrast, the SEC has 12 teams ranked #38 or higher (and the two who are below Iowa are Missouri at 41 and Vandy at 45, meaning no teams outside the top 50).
Alabama will play 3 teams currently in the top 6 of the FPI.
The highest SOS belongs to Cal. LSU is right behind with the #2 SOS.
Anyway, just a few tidbits.

Texas A&M and UCLA
Don't you know A&M is always in the national championship talk because of ESPN before they play Alabama
