Texas A&M (at home), Arkansas and Missouri. They are great, but have played absolutely no one.

If Alabama finishes 12-1

That means they won the SEC and would have a bevy of very good wins, which would trump our 11-1
What if they finish 11-1?

Like last year? Obviously there is a lot in play, but assuming ND loses a close one to USC to finish 11-1, it would be interesting to see how the committee would go. And regardless of any espoused reasoning, if they chose Alabama over ND, (thereby punching them a second consecutive ticket to the playoff without having even made it to their own conference championship), it would be pretty close to signaling that Alabama is an annual auto-qualifier with less than two losses.
