I’d say everyone in the top 5-6 minus Wisconsin

I can't remember a team with a weaker schedule than Wisconsin's this year. They have beaten two teams with a winning record - FAU and Northwestern (both 4-3, both at home). They play Michigan at home at the end of the year, who could jump back into the rankings, but as of now they are the only opponent even sniffing the top 25.

Not only that, but Michigan and Iowa are the only teams left on their schedule with winning records! Both games at home as well.

If they somehow win the Big 10 over an unbeaten Penn State, I could see the committee talking themselves into two Big 10 teams depending how other stuff shakes out.

Oklahoma, they have the only QB that would scare Bama.

Ohio St doesn't have a accurate enough QB to win.

Georgia doesn't have a dual threat QB and doesn't run the spread. Bama destroys pro style offenses.

Clemson doesn't have Watson anymore

Penn St, LOL

I don’t see Wisconsin beating PSU or OSU. They are highly overrated.

Oklahoma???? Oh hell no. OU is barely hanging on. Offense is good at certain times. But not consistent. Don’t even get me started with the defense.

If you are talking about the OU that defeated, Ohio State, then maybe OU would give Alabama a game, but I’d still give Bama the win by 8-13 points.

Oklahoma from the Baylor game on? OU couldn’t afford any miscues. Bama usually capitalizes on everything. Bama wins 45-17.

I actually hope Alabama faces Penn St. in the playoffs. The result will be very similar to Washington last year or Michigan St. the year before. Bama is built to destroy teams like that.

The only team teams with a chance would be Ohio St, Clemson, Georgia and maybe Oklahoma. Has a pro style offense ever beaten Saban at Alabama?

There's really no way to know because every team Alabama has played is currently unranked

I think the keys to beating us start up front on defense. If you can't stop our run then you are fvcked. On offense, you need to be explosive down the field. With that said.......

- Ohio State
- Clemson
- Penn State
- Georgia
- Auburn (in theory, at least)

We would gash Oklahoma. I just don't trust TCU yet, but that could be my inherent bias.

Well PSU already cursed themselves because of that cute little chant that gets teams added to the souls of the forgotten every year.

This is how it always goes:
1. Somebody thinks their team's getting good.
2. Chants "We Want Bama!" prematurely.
3. Gets that arse beat.
4. Issues apology.
5. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe, but there is zero chance Oklahoma could stop us.

Well Georgia thinks they are Alabama, so the answer is they can only beat themselves.
