Expansion Teams vs. Blueblood SEC

Serious question: Which expansion team do you feel has the best chance to win the SEC Championship for the 1st time?
A&M looked like they had a legit shot last year but hiccups against Auburn and Alabama derailed them. Without JFF they look to take a backseat for a year. That offense should still be very good.
USC has a legit shot this year with a down FL team (that I think will rebound to a respectable finish). Mizzou looks to be depleted offensively so this could be Spurrier's year.
Arkansas I expect to rebound this year and put together a decent season. Around 6-6 or 7-5. Those big guys up front will keep them in games and year 3 of Bielema-ball could have them competing for the West.
Mizzou impressed everyone last year. Most people expected them to trip up against A&M to allow USC in. They didn't and made it to the dance but ran into the Auburn running game buzzsaw.
So going forward, which expansion team do you think will be the first to hoist the trophy in Atlanta?

A&M looked like they had a legit shot last year but hiccups against Auburn and Alabama derailed them.
Auburn 45
A&M 41
Alabama 49
A&M 42

If TAMU "takes a backseat" this year (not sure what that means), it won't be because of our Johnny-less offense (which you may be saying after your first comment?).

Texas A&M. They have the recruits to compete with Bama, LSU, Auburn, and Arkansas.

USC by far

USC this year has the best chance of the 4 for sure. In 2015 I expect A&M to be a legit contender for the NC. But we'll see.

I think the East is up for grabs by 3-5 teams for the foreseeable future. USC and UGA are probably the favorites this year, but next year I would think Florida and Mizzou would have an advantage due to QB's and returning skill players. UGA and USC both lose a lot after this season correct?

South Carolina has been getting the closest

USC short term, A&M long term.
