- Mississippi State? Alabama just beat them fairly soundly
- TCU? I don't think they will even win out, but if they do, they lose the 1st playoff game
- Ohio State? Possibly. A dark horse if they can get in.
- Baylor? Another team with huge defense issues

My short answer is "I don't know". I think Alabama is a better team than Oregon by just a bit; but I also think Oregon has had a better season by just a bit. I don't know what to make of FSU. They start out slow against anyone in the FCS and they're done. I think all 3 of them clearly belong in the top 4 and could be placed in any order. I would probably lean UO, AL, FSU - but....whatever.
I have a much harder time with TCU, Baylor and Miss State for the 4 spot.
