20. Arkansas -ok but seems a bit high..I do like that backfield though

We sleep walked our way through a monotonous beat down of a pretty awful FCS team. 20 seems a bit high indeed. We will have a much better idea where Arkansas is this season after we play TCU, which looks to be the best team in Texas right now.

A win would not only be big for the Hogs when it comes to being able to recruit Texas but it would be yet another nail in the coffin of the Big 12. If TCU turns out to be average and the rest of the Texas contingent continue to stink on ice the ratings for the conference are going to go in the terlet.

Agreed about A&M and the Vols being ranked too high as well. The Vols found an offense late against GT but only after Butch did everything humanly possible to fart away the game. Not sure the team talent can overcome his coaching.

A&M looked like world beaters in the first half but folded like a cheap rug when UCLA started fighting back. Again its a question of can the talent overcome the coaching? I am not sure they can, especially with the dead man walking vibe that is hanging around Sumlin.
