They're a hair above us, no more, even with their better playoff record (1-3 vs. 0-2). If I had to rack and stack, I'd rank this way
Perennial Winners:
1.Bama
2.Clemson
3.Ohio State
Perennial Contenders:
4. Georgia
5. ND (trending up with strong recruiting in the trenches...honestly on par with Oklahoma but these are my rankings, NOT YOURS!!!)
5. Oklahoma (almost always make it, definitely always lose)
Knocking at the door:
LSU, Florida, maybe A&M (second fiddle in Texas, even worse in SEC), maaaaaaybee Wisconsin
Wannabes:
The entire PAC-12 until USC gets a good coach
Anyone else in ACC until FSU/Miami get a good coach
Michigan/Penn State
No chance:
Group of 5, any team
Probably missing one or two in knocking at the door.
