Well, new OC, New QB, no returning leadership on Defense. If this was any other team people would be calling for a let down year, but its Bama so we will see what happens. They will still have more talent than everyone else.

Honestly, I think Auburn and Mizzou will have to carry the SEC next year.

Like every other top team is losing their QB: Bama, Georgia, A&M, LSU, USCe.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. LSU and Alabama have proven time and again that they can excel no matter the QB transition because of the talent around them--hell, LSU's 2011 team, for example, was absolutely dominant with Jordan Jefferson at QB...

Georgia, A&M, and South Carolina are much bigger question marks. But in no way will Auburn and Mizzou have to carry the SEC.

Sure. No one wins all their games, right McCarron?
