Who bounces back after disappointing 2015 seasons?

The Auburn Tigers, Missouri Tigers, South Carolina Gamecocks and Texas A&M Aggies all disappointed to varying degrees last year, but will any of them have a bounceback season in 2016?

Auburn was picked to win the West at last year’s media days and finished in last with a 2-6 conference record. Missouri slumped to a 1-7 conference mark to tie South Carolina for last place in the East after back-to-back division titles.

Texas A&M is 8-13 in the SEC over the last three years after a 6-2 record in their first year in the SEC in 2011 and saw Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray transfer out of the program within a week of each other in the offseason to abandon what appears to be a sinking ship under Kevin Sumlin.

Will any of these teams show signs of life in the spring to give fans optimism heading into the fall?
