Fearless Prediction: Arkansas Wins the SEC in 2016

yeah i said it lol. i really really like this team. every team sans the 2005 usc trojans had question marks, alabama didn't know who was going to replace coopers production last year. FSU didnt' know how good Winston was going to be at QB, etc. we have question marks, but i like the answers.
lsu will be really good but won't have a QB. Alabama will be alabama but will not have a QB and will be worst at RB than they've been in years. Ole miss will have the best QB in the SEC but they lost a hell of a lot to the nfl draft and well they are about to get DP'ed
and we get all three at home. we'll win all three of those.
the game that scares me the most is miss state on the road. mullen has a really good program and we get them late in the year.
I think BB knows what he's working with hense letting Ramsey back on the team and moving Bell and Denmark to offense.. this is not the year to let players develop bell gives us the physicality we need to sustain the run game on offense and Ramsey is the missing LB we need to plug in.
we're gonna lose to TCU. we might drop one in the SEC but as long as we win those three at home we'll own any tie breakers and no one else is going undefeated. we'll play florida in the SECCG and beat them.
i don't think people realize how nasty this front 7 is going to be on defense.

You never know how a season is going to pan out, but there are some years that you know are going to be rough. No chance at being very good. This team has players all over the field and could wind up being really good.

I think the defense will be good enough, maybe REALLY good.
Too much uncertainty along OL with youth and inexperience, at QB (inexperience plus protection) and RB (depth, can we stay injury free and can Whaley step right in and contibute?) for me to jump on this prediction. I'm going with 6 or 7 wins for the regular season.

I actually think we have a decent shot at beating TCU. They lost a lot as well.

If Allen steps in and can move the ball through the air enough to keep defenses honest we can be a good team. If not will be facing a stacked box every play and our running game will get bogged down behind a new o line. I feel like by the end of the year we should be good. The first half I am not sure, but hoping for the best.

Our offense looks to be pretty bad. Awful O line, plus a first year quarterback, plus no established running back. Hopefully the defense will carry the team this year, because scoring is gonna be difficult.

I'm not worried about running back. Rawleigh is more than good enough.
Just worried if he'll have any holes to run through...

We get TCU at TCU early in the year. We struggle against spread teams and Patterson is a !much better coach than freeze

In order to win the division, we will have to take huge steps forward in both our pass defense and special teams, and hope that our offense doesn't take too much of a step back losing BA, AC, and HH. That's asking a lot.

Basing this off the spring game is pointless. While not on the level of last year, the offense will be more efficient when actual featuring the top RB's and not the 4th-6th string guys.

I'm trying to keep my expectations grounded. Winning a third Bowl in a row would make me happy. On paper and with what we know, I don't see how we win more than 9 at the absolute most.

They lost their QB and 2 best WRs.

cant buy it myself. Thinking 7-8 wins, and belk bowl or music city bowl

I'd bet on the offense being pretty solid. Allen is a talented Jr., we have talent at RB, the WRs are very good, the Oline should gel as the season progresses, and I expect production from the TEs. There is nothing about the offense that makes me believe there is no hope for them to be formidable.

I have no idea what this team can do, but one really good thing is the areas we are weak in (OLINE and RB); just happen to be Bielemas strength. I feel we will field a solid running attack.

As "weaj" as we were in the spring, we have 2 NFL guys at C and RT, a former HS all American at RG, a guy at LG that, though a DT last year, has taken command of the position, and a good looking athlete at LT. I'd bet a dollar to a donut that they become a strong unit.
Our RBs aren't McFadden and Jones, nor are they Williams and Collins, but they'll be pretty good.

You think running back is the big issue? LOL. Our O line is arse.

Of course it's not the big issue but it's pointless to judge anything without all of the moving parts.

I've decided to bet against the hogs in every game this year. Win or lose I win.
