IRI has such a high quality level of teams that any alliance could win. For example, in 2012 the #5 alliance (2826+1114+4334) fought the #6 alliance (1023+33+51+330) in the finals.
As for this year, it's my belief that any alliance capable of scoring 7 stacks consistently will have a shot of making it to the finals. This could be every alliance in the finals as the 7 could be split into 2+2+3. Most every team should be able to make at least 2 stacks, and every captain will be able to make 3.
IRI will be a battle of consistency, and upsets will be common.
