That's seriously doubtful returning the QB and entire O-line. Couple that with the Dline next year and A&M, UA, and LSU breaking in new QBs, it's not unrealistic to at least have AU in the conversation for the West.

Record will or could be worse next year. Away games at Bama and UGA 2Ls. both MS schools will be better an those are away games (split those)

Plus LSU and TAMU are L's until you beat them plus the @ KSTate game will be a toss up. 4-6 games that are distinct possibilities for L's.

Then again Au could shock the SEC and win it all, but realistically 8-4 again.

Bama, LSU, and A&M's offenses will all be worse. Bama is losing AJ and their OLine will take another step backwards and they lose their best player on Defense. LSU is losing pretty much their entire offense and with A&M losing JFF they are too. The only team Auburn plays that will be better than this year is likely Arkansas. UGA may be better on Defense but they are losing AM on offense.

They will have an easier schedule with a better team. The record should be better than this year. While they won't win a NC next year, its not likely any SEC team will.
