Alternatives to the Comnenus family

WI the Comnenus family were removed from Byzantine history. If there is Isaac or Alexius to take the throne in Constantinople who would have replaced them dynastically? Were there other families as capable of ruling the empire at that time? Thoughts,comments or theories are wanted.

The Doukas family was the most powerful noble family around this time, IIRC.

Of course if you completely remove the Komnenos family from history, butterflies will completely alter the Empire's situation by the 1080s. Remember that Isaac I (1057-1059) was a Komnenos.
