Serious answer?
No way in hell Vandy, UK, or UT wins the East.
Mizzou won't win the East because that's not what they do under Pinkel. If they win 10 games one season under him, then they follow it up with at least 3 conference losses the next year. That trend is unlikely to change in his 14th season. I like the way he runs his program, but it's not built for consistent success at an elite level.
That gets you to what you already knew - either UGA, USCe, or UF will win the East. All teams are relatively even from a talent standpoint. So, look at other factors.
I don't like UF's schedule set up. Unfortunately for them, they have to travel to Bama. 8 straight conference games and one of their bye weeks is cancelled out because UGA also has one. The only valuable "down" weeks they have are prior to UT and prior to FSU (OOC). They didn't need an off week before traveling to UT. Tough break. USCe gets an off week prior them.
That leaves USCe and UGA. USCe gets UGA in Columbia, yay for them! But their schedule is also rough - @UF, @ AU and 5 of their 6 conference games come in the first 6 weeks of the year when they're breaking in a new pass rush and pair of corners. Those 5 do not include UF and AU. UGA gets an off week prior to traveling to Columbia.
In conclusion, USCe may beat UGA. But, even if they do, they will inexplicably squander the East away. UGA wins the East. DWI.
