re: The Curious Case of Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas

Yeah, that's as good of an explanation as any. Arkansas has also had years where they started off bad and got a lot better toward the end of the year. They were winless in the SEC last year though, so they didn't improve that much (just lost closer games). LSU also plays down to opponents at times.

I think tomorrow's Bama/Arkansas game is going to be different though. I'm impressed with their physical style.
