Maybe next year? 
If we had a better kicker, or had Mallett a tad better under control, we would have won last night and also at Florida. Our D was totally unprepared against Georgia in what should have been another win.
Put another way, we could have easily been 10-2 right now, with a schedule much harder than we'll have next year. Last year, we were 5-7 and could have easily lost a few more. Our few wins were squeakers. This year, we slaughtered the weak teams. Big Big difference in teams (that unfortunately didn't translate to many more wins.)
Before the season this year, someone(not a hog fan) opined that Arkansas could improve vastly this year and not get any accolades because of a 7-5 record. This is exactly what happened, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I think we are the best of the 7-5 SEC teams.
I'm not into the whole moral-victory thing, but we have shown vast improvement in a short time, and I think we are POTENTIALLY a threat in the SECw next year.
I see 9-11 wins next year.

Arkansas has very little in state Div I talent. I know, i was born and raised there, so I feel I know a little about this. And on top of that, lools like the #1 recruit from Arkansas is going to Auburn. Ark has got to keep all of the in state talent and that causes problems on being a consistent contender in the SEC.
You've been gone too long and don't understand how and where Petrino recruits. The unrealistic old adage of putting up a fence around the state left a couple of years ago. BP does not depend upon in-state athletes only.
Top Hog freshman in '09 are:
Ronnie Wingo (RB) - MO
Knile Davis (RB) - TX
Cobi Hamilton (WR) - TX
Dylan Breeding (P) - AL
Sure there's a lot of in-state talent in Fayetteville, but it's not the only area where BP has been getting players.
