Best offenses next season?

AU should be similar to last year, but without Tre Mason they lose a little bit of fire power obviously. It will be interesting to see if Marshall improves his passing. If Marshall can improve just a little, AU'S offense will once again be at or near the top.
I really like the Mauk kid from Mizzou. Very poised and has "it." if he stays healthy I won't be surprised if Mizzou goes back to Atlanta.
South Carolina's offense will be balanced and strong, but Spurrier doesn't have the focus or energy to take them to a championship.
Bama will be Bama, LSU will be LSU when it comes to pounding the rock and winning the LOS. Don't think either team will be in the top 3 in the conference when it comes to offense though.
Wild card is Arkansas. Three 5 star quality running backs and an offensive line that will open some holes. Brandon Allen now how a full year starting under his belt and worked up a pretty good chemistry with TE Hunter Henry and WR Keon Hatcher. Expect a ton of rushing yards, and be ready for a more consistent passing game.
Ole Miss and MSU will be fun to follow with their returning QB's. One of them may even have enough to take down a Bama or LSU this year. Treadwell for Ole Miss is one of my favorite returning players and I expect him to have a big year.

Not MSU since they have to go to Bama and LSU IIRC

Mauk has a good TD/Int ratio and can run well so I do think he will be pretty good. But he only completed 51% of his passes and 8 of his 11 TDs were against Tennessee and UK.

Mizzou fans were telling us not too long ago that Mauk's favorite target was DGB and they were glad Franklin was leaving so DGB could be better utilized. They also said it would help soften the blow of losing 2 seniors. Let's watch as they change their views after his dismissal...

1. South Carolina. tOBC is an offensive genius. Best QB/RB combo in conference.
2. Arkansas. BB gets real football going in the West, will rush it down opponents' throats.
3. State. Dak will be a Heisman finalist and have a prolific offense.
.....
12. Auburn. Gimicky offense teams will have learned to shut down. Mason leaving hurts.
13. Missouri. No WR's left at all.
14. TAMU. JFF was TAMU.

No mention of UGA? OP's list is shite.

As for South Carolina, we only lose 3 players from last year's offense. But they were important players in Shaw, WR Ellington, and G Ronald Patrick.
Shaw was the best QB in SC's history but Dylan Thompson is ready to take over as a RS Senior. Studying under Spurrier and taking after Shaw for all these years has been good for him. He's played well when Shaw was injured.
Losing Ellington will hurt but this is the 3rd year in a row for us losing a top notch receiver. Alshon in '11, Ace Sanders in '12, and now Bruce. Hopefully the trend continues where we don't miss much of a beat.
4/5 of our OLine is returning and should be the best OLine maybe ever at USC.
Behind that OLine is a stout RB corp with Mike Davis, Shon Carson, Brandon Wilds along with an electric freshman and last year All Freshman SEC pick Pharoh Cooper doing a bit of everything (wildcat, receiving, returning).

LSU will be a dark horse. Lots of talent on the line and the RB's will be good but the QB and receivers are the questionable spots. They could light it up or stink it out... who knows
The bright spot is that LSU's defense should be replenished well now and therefore there should not be as large a need for points as last year.

Too many wildcards here, especially before the spring games. Just to look at the top offensese from last year:
Auburn has the system, but 1) people have had a year to figure it out; and 2) losing Robinson and Mason hurts. So who knows? How much of TAMU's offense is system and how much isn't? And they are losing three pivotal players (Manziel, Evans, Matthews.) LSU will need time to develop, especially after losing their starting QB. Plus, I'm still not entirely sold on Cam. He seems to be off to a great start, but LSU's offense occasionally sputtered last year. Bama could easily be the biggest surprise of the year with Kiffin, Coker, and the emergence of Henry, but they will likely need even more time to develop. You don't replace your OC and a three year starter at QB without growing pangs. Will UGA stay injury-free? If so, they'll be able to pound the rock while Murray's replacement (Mason, right?) gets comfortable as a starter. He has experience, but he's been hiding behind an all-time legend in Murray for his career. USCe has a solid group, actually, and OBC, of course, but I defy anyone here not a USCe fan to name three of them. Go ahead, try. Ole Miss...look, I love how Freeze coaches up his players, and he has some spectacular talent in certain positions. But it's hard to get a handle on his OM teams sometimes, and I'm sure as hell not going to make any predictions about them just yet.
I'm going to pretend Missouri doesn't exist. That just makes life simpler.

A&M will lead the SEC in total yardage every year and PPG most years.
Just the nature of the offense, even when we have off days the 700 yard games against shite teams bring the average up.

Lets be real. A&M is going to have a top 3 SEC offense every year and probably the best as long as Sumlin is the HC.
Look at Sumlin's track record.
2013: 528.4 ypg 1st SEC, 4th nationally
2012: 558.5 ypg 1st SEC, 3rd nationally
2011: 599.1 ypg 1st CUSA, 1st nationally
2010*: 480.5 ypg 2nd CUSA, 11th nationally
2009: 563.4 ypg 1st CUSA, 1st nationally
2008: 562.5 ypg 2nd CUSA, 2nd nationally
*1st & 2nd string QB season ending injuries after 2 games. 122 points scored in 1st 2 games.

We "took down" LSU last season. I'm sure we will do it again.

As Alabama has been proving since 2008, you don't need a high powered offense to consistently win 11 to 12 games a year. Though Bama did have the #2 offense in the SEC behind Arkansas in 2011.
