Well, losing Moore and potentially one or two first round OTs is going to hurt. We won't know how badly until the season starts but I don't think it'll be anything severe. Even if all three of them go I think 10 games is still totally doable with our schedule.
Preseason rankings are dumb though. See: USC this year.

A&M should not be in the top 5.

Preseason polls suck...they usually base most of their picks on last years finish. Look at UF, 7-6 in 2011 is what made them a 20+ pick in early 2012...and thats because people knew the defense would be good. I myself saw a 11-1 or 10-2 as very possible with the grueling workouts the team went through in the summer.
UGA will lose a ton on defense...but if Murray comes back..then will be ranked higher than they should be. USC will be difficult to judge..but their defense and offense should be good enough to place in top ten. Vanderbilt would be in my preseason top 15-20 at least. You heard it here first...Vandy is going to be a tough nut to crack in Nashvegas for UGA. A&M should be tough....not sure what their schedule is like. UF has a much easier one this year. LSU will be higher or lower on my list based on what five or six defensive juniors that are NFL material decide to do. If five of them plus 1 senior starter leave...its not going to be a great year for LSU...good...but not great and yes...I know the underclassmen that LSU has, Rasco, Johnson etc etc...but the depth wont be with experience and numbers enough to rotate a solid lineup on the DL....hell, LSU had gassed DL last night...was Johnson injured? Rasco needs to get his head straight and stop with committing 15 yd penalties.
UT is gonna need time to regroup. Bama will be Bama again....they were not nearly as good in 20012 as in 2011..I think they will hold water or be close to the level they are now at. AU will be lucky to be 6-6 in 2013...Arkie is going improve the most of any SEC school. Ole Miss will be dangerous and MSU will be a step below the 2012 team...or half step. Mizzou is a puzzle and dont think 2013 will be improved by much at all. UK has its work cut out...but could improve a game or two.
The SEC will still be the premier conference and will be able to have a a majority of top 15 listed teams preseason ranked...and those are:
Bama, UF, USC, UGA, A&M, LSU, with Vandy or Ole Miss being the best bets to make waves.
