Let's Assume Florida and Alabama end up playing for a spot in the playoffs...

What other playoff teams does the rant see as the biggest threat to beat either?
Since Florida and Bama are built fairly similarly as far as strong areas and weak ones, I would assume it would be the same teams. But if you think differently then that's fine.
Pretty much anyone in the top 10 could probably manage their way in if the cards fall right over the next three weekends.
So that gives us Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, Iowa, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Baylor, TCU.
Here's the way I'd rank them. And I may be way off, like most of you I don't really keep up with and watch the rest of the country as much as the SEC. And there is a possibility one of these just couldn't get in no matter what, but with the committee I'd assume everyone technically has a shot.
1. Oklahoma - They score a lot of points, have a decent defense. And outside of the loss to rival Texas they have been pretty good. They also have the type of offense and quarterback that at least Bama struggles with.
2. Oklahoma State
3. Clemson
4. Baylor
5. Ohio State (all the talent in the world, but just don't seem to have it together this year)
6. TCU (but this really depends on how Boykin comes back from injury)
7. Notre Dame
8. Michigan State
9. Iowa
ETA: forget TCU, didn't realize they dropped that far.

Bama's DL would eat Baker Mayfield alive. Our D Line got to him all night, just couldn't get him down. Really was the deciding factor in the game.
UF/OU would be a good game.

Bama would wreck ND, Iowa, TCU and Ohio State.
Don't know enough about the others to say anything about them

Ohio State didn't look all that great until the post-season last year either. Got to think they'd still be the biggest threat.

It's Alabama or bust for this shitty conference.

Ohio State
Clemson
Oklahoma
I think the SEC is down this year including Bama but I also wouldn't pick against Bama.

I'd rather assume AlaBama gets beat by AUburn & Florida by Florida State; but, I make NO assumptions.
Lots of football left to be played.

Obviously rantards feel Oklahoma State is a pushover.
At least they thought they'd be a pushover in 2011.
Sort of like the way they've felt about the last 2 weeks` games.

Every team in the top 10 outside of Iowa beats Florida. And Ohio State is the biggest threat to Bama by a country mile. I don't care how uninspiring his team looks in the regular season. Urban takes his game to a completely different level in the bowl season. There's no question in my mind Ohio State will soundly beat any team they face in the playoffs that isn't Bama.

It all hinges on the Notre Dame / Stanford game imo. And If ND gets beat, which I think they might. It sets the play-off up pretty easy if everything goes Chalk.
Clemson/ UNC- Clemson wins and gets 1-2 spot, UNC upset gets the 4
Bama/ UF- Bama wins and gets 1-2 spot, Gators win get 2-3 spot
tOSU/ Iowa- bucks win gets 1-3 spot, Iowa win gets 3-4 spot
Bedlam ( okst/ou ) winner gets 2-4 spot
The PAC is out no matter what happens, Stanford nor Utah is getting in with 2 losses over a 1 loss champ/ND.
Clemson/ UNC- Clemson wins and gets 1-2 spot, UNC upset gets the 4
Bama/ UF- Bama wins and gets 1-2 spot, Gators win get 2-3 spot
tOSU/ Iowa- bucks win gets 1-3 spot, Iowa win gets 3-4 spot

Ohio State
Notre Dame

TCU w/healthy D and Boykin
