The FL-15 was considered a very heavily GOP seat. Dave Bachus gave up in 1994 because he thought he would eventually lose. Bill Nelson had a much easier time getting reelected there.
GA-8 was just a case where the Dem nominee got tied to Washington and I think hadn't spent that much time in the district.
GA-7 was a heavily conservative seat that contained some of Cobb County's most republican parts, so a Republican win isn't that much of a surprise.
GA-10 was redistricted to draw out black areas of Augusta, and Don Johnson, who was first elected in 1992, lost huge. He said that Bill Clinton could come down and campaign, but only if he would campaign for Charlie Norwood, his opponent. He lost by something like 67-32.
