Both teams are stacked as usual and barring an unexpected loss, will both be in playoff. the answer to this question comes down to how good rest of their conference is.

Answer may also come down to how much better oregeron is than Miles. LSU performing as good as their talent level would be a significant thorn in Bama'a side.

I think Bama is more likely to miss the Playoffs. Mississippi State is going to surprise a lot of folks this season.

Ohio St.

I don't really see anyone in the SEC threatening Alabama this year.

Mayyyyybe Auburn if this QB lives up to the hype. LSU will be like 8-4/9-3. Ole Miss is terrible. A&M is terrible. Mississippi st could be good but they can't win 10 games. The best team in the east (whomever it may be) can't compete with Bama.

Not to mention that Saban has probably been pissed off the last 8 months after the loss to Clemson.

In the SEC currently, its Alabama then everybody else. Big 10, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin then everybody else. Yeah, I think Ohio State's more likely to miss the playoffs.

The answer is Bama, but MSU does not factor into that at all

Ohio State is more likely to miss. Alabama will be 11-1 at worst this season. I think there is much more parity at the top of the Big 10.

Ohio St. They COULD lost to Mich, Penn St, Wisc. They also have games against Mich St and Oklahoma. Who's beating BAMA this year? FSU and LSU have the best chance or maybe Aubrurn, but I jsut can't really see it. They definitely aren't losing 2 of those 3.

Ohio State, easily.

Bama can slip up against FSU, run the table and win in ATL, and they're in. Or they could dominate everyone on the schedule and take a loss to a team like A&M, Arkansas, or LSU and win out and they're in. I just don't see them losing more than 1.

Where Ohio State has to play Oklahoma, Michigan St, Penn St, Michigan, etc.

Ohio St, due to the quality of the top tier of the Big Ten. Really, the only team that the SEC could reasonably send to the playoffs other than Bama is Georgia, and that's if everything goes right for them.

Yeah...the SEC has become the old Big10. Everyone has shrunk to Bama. Big10 has more threats for Ohio State than Bama has in the SEC.

The best coach in the SEC and B1G are pretty even. After that coaches 2-6 isn't even close. I think Harbaugh, Crist, Franklin, Fitzgerald, and Dantonio would all be the 2nd best coach in the SEC

Bowl. Have you ever heard of Nick Fitzgerald? The entire nation should be scared to death of this kid. He's a more talented version of Dak Prescott. If Dak can win 13 games in the NFL, then Fitzgerald is good for 14-15 wins this season in College Football.

Ohio st may miss b1g playoff. Have to better state penn and mich.
None of state penn, mich and wisc are terrific but 3 chances to fall.

Bama beats lsu, they are in. Probably in anyway at 11-1, first non champ in playoff.
Certainly in anyway at 12-1, sec champ.
Lsu can beat them and lose to ark and aubie.

Penn State has the best RB in the country. Don't count them out.

Not by far...Michigan has been up there the last two years and don't forget about Michigan State owning Ohio State or Wisky always being there. Not to mention Penn State last year who should have been in the playoff over Ohio State.

Ohio State may be the class but they've lost to Michigan State, they've lost to Penn State, they've lost to Wisconsin...

Bama has completely hijacked the SEC. Everybody else is playing for 2nd place. At least Michigan and Wisky can challenge Ohio State.
