Ole Miss does not have 20 starters returning
They lost their top 2 WR's yardage-wise
They lost 3 starting OL guys
They lost a couple on D
They have 15-16 starters returning
Conversely- State, who beat them, returns 17 starters

Other notable teams and their returning starters:
North Carolina - 15 (GON B GOOD)
Indiana - 18 (great offense, turrible defense)
Northwestern - 17
UCLA - 16 (GON B GOOD)

LSU, we lose on the plains in a stiff dew and then run the table

The only teams that can "pull an Auburn" is Arkansas or Kentucky

A&M has 15 starters returning.

LB - Darian Claiborne

P - Drew Kaser
Phil Steele factored in Ivan Robinson (likely career ending injury) and Isaiah Golden (withdrawn for spring semester, will return in the summer but likely redshirt) as returning starters.
Expect at least one or more of the defensive starters to lose their job to a true freshman

You mean the exact team the went 3-9 (0-8) the year before in a pro style offense experiment, yeah lucky breaks (MSU, aTm, UGA, BAMA) and scheme change had nothing to do with that they were always a Seattle Seahawks caliber team.
Lucky?
You calling Auburn lucky? Even though the most alcoholic liver ridden coach in history (beer bryent) said there was no such thing as luck?
I thought everything the bammer coaches say is gospel?
Are you a real bammer boy?

As real as the crystal ball that you guys let FSU take back to Tallahassee.

I can see UF going from 4-8 to making a run at ATL. If they have a good OC and decent QB play, sure.

Ole Miss is the logical answer here.
Most experienced QB in the SEC, return 20 starters off of an eight-win team, and has a deeeeeeep DL.
Ole Miss wasn't a bad team last season; 3 of your losses could have gone the other way on another day. 2013 Auburn experienced a 9 game turnaround. 2012 Florida went from a 6-6 regular season to a Sugar Bowl berth. IMO, Ole Miss won't accomplish something nearly as impressive.

Mississippi State - 9 wins
Missouri - 7 wins
South Cackalacky - 12 wins
Tennessee - 8 wins
Texas A&M - 10 wins
Vanderbilt - 7 wins
Swap these teams and you're on to something.

Wouldn't that have to be Arkansas?
Don't want to make any wild claims about how much the W-L is going to improve (but I expect it will some), but folks are going to find the Hogs a harder out this year. Was starting to get that way towards years end.
ETA: The name 'Korliss' (this time with a K) is going to be a name of note in the SEC again.

Florida is the only answer.

Florida is the hardest team to judge-- if the Spread Option works for Driskel like some think and he stay's healthy he could be an All-American (seriously-- watch him run- he's amazing as an athlete, he's just not quick enough mentally to make reads or run a pro style offense)-- which if it happens Florida's a title contender, it fails, Florida has an interim coach in late October.

Only Auburn can pull an Auburn.

It's tough to think about because at least both teams in Mississippi have a shot to do it considering all that they have coming back. Then UF is literally a decent offense away from challenging for the SEC East title. IMO, UGA also had a bad year for their standards and should be actually a favorite to win the SEC next year. Of course they'll have to not be so damn injured at 5000 spots again too.
