Glad to see once again everyone is discounting Mizzou
The OP specifically, by name, mentioned uga/uf/ut. So that's who I commented about.
Quit being so whiny, it's unbecoming.

Yeah, this might come off as Disney but I think we will be pretty good next year. Defense will progress, with Floyd, Jenkins, and Carter forming the best LB crew in the East. Running game will be great again, with Chubb and a healthy Sony Michel. Our O-line brings back a lot of depth, and if we replace David Andrews at center with someone 80% of his ability, we could pave the way for a Heisman run for Chubb. Decent depth coming back at WR, plus a couple big recruits.
Recruiting class overall looks to be the best at UGA in the last decade, so we should get some help from a couple of those guys getting a little PT right away.
Everything will hinge on our QB play. Ramsey is a packet passer, a true gunslinger. If he plays, look for a decent number of INTs but also some spectacular throws. Jacob Park redshirted this year and is a dual threat guy - personally, we haven't had a running threat at QB in a while and I think that would be a nice element to add to our offense.
Curious to see what TN/UF/MIZZ posters think about their 2015 teams. I don't think TN will be quite ready next year, and I think McElwain will need more than one offseason to fix the issues on offense at Florida. Missouri will be Missouri - tougher schedule next year but they will be in the hunt. I don't think SCar will be that good, although I don't know much about their depth chart for next year.
Long story short, I think it will be UGA and Missouri at the top again.

UGA will probably be, overall, similar to this year. Their defense will probably be a little better, pass game a little worse.

I really like where we're at going forward. We'll return 40 out of the 44 guys in our offensive/defensive two deep, so you have to like the experience we're bringing back. Who steps in as a full time replacement for AJ Johnson is still the biggest question mark for me right now. Dillon Bates was his primary back up before going down earlier in the season, so I expect he'll be the man in the middle. On the other side of the ball, all of our skill guys are back, but the real issue will still be along the offensive front, we should see some improvement, but will it be enough?
I think you have to look at Missouri as the favorites with Tennessee, USC, UF, and UGA all being contenders. Outside of Vanderbilt and UK, it's wide open.

I think we will see more yards and TDs next year, but more INTs as well. A lot of our success was due to our ridiculous turnover margin, which is why I am hesitant to say we will take the East next year.

I don't know about you guys, but Tenn fans have me convinced. With their top tier, 3.6 million dollar, coach they are definitely winning the NFC South next year.

Good breakdown and I agree
Mizzou next will be a lot like this year
Mauk back
Hansbourgh back at RB
WR all e graduate so who the frick knows
TE-back
Oline 4 of 5 back
Dline lose both DE's and 2 DT, both DT's that return are good (Brantley & Augusta)
Linebackers-All Back
DB-lose both Safeties but top 3 corners are all back

I'm sure you know better than me, I just don't see it. Mason was actually a really solid QB for yall. No he didn't fill up a stat sheet, but he was efficient as all get out and didn't make mistakes. I don't know anything about your new guy next year, but being that he'll be a first year starter, and an underclassman, you're bound to get some growing pains. Look at all the close games UGA had this year; clemson (for 3 quarters anyway), SC, tennessee, etc...think how different those games could have gone if you had a young buck with a few intercpetions instead of mason's play.
This isn't an indictment on georgia either at all, that's just typically how college fotoabll works in my experience.

This is huge. Mizzou will struggle on D next year.

Doesn't Georgia lose Conley, Bennett, and Rump at receiver? Even if Malcom Mitchell comes back, he could always get hurt just lacing up his shoes

Yep. We need WR help badly though.

Mizzou's offense will be better, the D will be worse (overall).
I think MU will be competative and possibly very good if their D line finds solid replacements (a tall order). I worry less about replacing these receivers. They were not an amazing bunch overall.

The SEC East in 2015 will be comprised of 7 teams. These teams are:
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Georgia
South Carolina
Tennessee
Florida
and curiously..Missouri.
They will all play each other in football, and each SEC East school will also play two teams from the Western division.

I am probably going to regret responding to Auburnphan, but yes those guys are gone. Mitchell will be back, we have some really good guys coming in (Slayton, Godwin), and Isaiah McKenzie was a solid slot guy this year when he got his chances.
Our receivers weren't fantastic this year, which is why it doesn't bother me that we don't have an absolute stud coming back. If our running game does what it should, our passing game will be more of an accessory than anything else.

I would have said the same 3/4 of the way through the season, but Sasser and Hunt turned in some really strong performances late in the year. I was impressed by them.

Beat someone worth a damn first

Yes, they improved. So I am probably understating their departure. But none were amazing. Of course our side-armed slinging qb didn't always put them in the position to be amazing either.
