We may not see the throne as a huge piece anymore because we know about the other threats, whitewalkers, dragons etc, but for everyone south of the neck it is the be all end all.
The Tyrells have their only two children in custody, one of which is the queen, their head of house Mace Tyrell is who knows where (where is that guy? Still in Braavos? Still negotiating with the Iron Bank? Is he wondering where Maryn Trant is?).
What other houses can compete for the crown and have as few casualties in their army as Dorne? They've been pretty much untouched by the war of the five kings. Who will defend King's Landing from a coup if Elleria brings in an army?
I'd say the potential Lannister/Martell rivalry for this season looks quite promising.

You're being facetious at this point, but Dorne can no longer compete for the throne in any way.
They don't have a big army. They are known for being relatively isolationist and using guerrilla tactics. They had ties to the old Targaryen dynasty, but those have been totally wiped out now.
