DIdn't yall lose 5 or 6 starters on defense and at least your star backs on offense. Everyone has turnover, but even talented rosters struggle to replace a lot of good players.

Losing Roquan is going to be tougher than losing Sony or Chubb imo. We have talented backs who can work more as a committee to make up for their lost production.
Trenton Thompson is another big loss on the DL.
The senior DB's we lost (Sanders, Davis, fricking Parrish) were all good/decent, but many of our younger guys are far more talented and just need some seasoning.
I agree playing in the East will help us as we try to bring along younger players throughout the 1st half of the season. Just wanted to bring up that talking point everyone tried to drop about UGA losing 31 seniors, and make fun of it.
ETA: Forgot about Bellamy and Zo. They will be missed too. Zo became an outstanding overall OLB this past year, and Bellamy had a way of creating big moments. The incoming recruits, and players on campus can more than step-up, or even exceed what Zo/Bellamy did. Deandre Walker is going to be a man.

We definitely lost some good players, but we're upgrading overall talent. For reference here is who we return from last year's SEC Champs. The starting:
Offense
QB
LT (RT last year sliding to left, still a starting T)
LG
C
RG
WR (x3)
TE
Defense
DL (x2)
ILB
CB
S
Special Teams
K
KR
PR
The biggest lost that is basically irreplaceable is Roquan, and that hurts. The 2 OLB we lost have talented guys behind them that all saw action last year. Our starting S that graduated is replaced by a 5* top safety 2 years ago that played plenty last year. Same for DL, CB, RB...we're losing talented guys but have talented guys coming in. Sure chubb and sony took a ton of stats with but we've all seen Swift is capable and his backup will be the #1 RB in america in the last class.
Color me not worried about all the losses.

I believe we return more starters than over half the SEC.
