TAMU - same
Better, and here's why:
QB - same, but Manziel will improve.
HB - better. Our best running back was ineligible this year (Brandon Williams)
WR - same. We lose Swope, Nwachukwu, and McNeal, but gain Adeboyejo, Seals-Jones, Parker, Tabuyo, Jaquay Williams, Gonzalez, and Echols-Luper
TE - better. We lose Lamothe but gain Clear
OL - same if both Joeckel and Matthews stay, slightly worse if one leaves, worse if both leave
DL - better regardless of whether or not Moore stays. Significant upgrades at DT
LB - worse. You don't just replace Porter and Stewart that easily
DB - better. Great influx of talent and depth coming in
K - can't get much worse than Bertolet
P - slightly worse depending on Kaser's play

You'll need significant improvement on defense. Your OL may give you issues next year as well.

Both projected first rounders in the first 20 picks of the first round. They both will be gone and you will have a sophomore center that has never started.
Both your starting safeties are seniors and two of your starting LBs.

Teams will be much more adjusted to Manziel & Sumlin's schemes next year. TAMU may be as good next year, but their record probably won't reflect it because the West will be stronger over all.

For Alabama, it is very tough to say. On offense we will lose Jones, Warmack, likely Fluker, and maybe Lacy but return everyone else. On defense, we lose Dial, Williams, Square, Mosley, Johnson, Lester, and Milliner. That is a lot to replace on the defensive side of the ball.
If Fluker stays (unlikely), I think we have the potential to be better on offense. On defense, we lose a good bit, but there are some guys that are right behind them that are ready to step up. The leadership we lose on the offensive line and defense will be tough to handle.
Overall, I see us as being about the same as this year with the possibility of being better if Fluker stays.

You can't tell me losing those two tackles will you "slightly worse". Thats so much bullshite its unbearable.
Seals-Jones isn't even committed, and there are very few fresh WR's who even contribute very much at all. Even phenoms like DGB barely contribute.
