Well that was after they'd lost Lattimore (and lost at home to 7-5 Auburn).


And yet, after losing Lattimore and to Auburn, they still managed to beat the eventual ACC champion by three touchdowns in their final game of the regular season.

This all just confirms my point: college football was down in 2011. Arkansas, in 2011, was one of the top five best teams in the country. Hands down.

The same ACC champ that lost 4 games and gave up 70 points in their BCS bowl...

How many times do I have to type it? College football was down in 2011. You judge a team by the competition it plays in the season it plays. In 2011, Arkansas was one of the top five best teams. Can you name me one team besides Alabama and LSU from 2011 that didn't have a bad loss?

40-27 is domination? Interesting.

Oregon was a better team than Arky for sure. We beat Oregon because we played our arse off and got a few big plays in key spots. We just leaned on Arky and they eventually fell over.

Not compared to the Arkansas game. Oregon actually outgained us they just couldn't hold onto the ball. LSU didn't even have 300 total yards. Whereas they had almost 500 vs Arky

Did you watch that game? It was quite one sided. Oregon tacked on a late TD to make it look a little better.

They lost to USC. And while USC finished 10-2 that season, Oregon had no business losing that game. That loss also kept them out of the national championship game so, yeah, it's a pretty bad loss.

A USC team that finished #5 in the country.
You keep moving those goalposts though.

Forcing turnovers was kinda something LSU was fricking terrific at. LSU made big plays in big spots just like they did in every game except one.

Maybe in the Korin Media Poll. But in the AP Poll, they finished #6....behind Arkansas. And they were on probation to boot....and coached by Lane Kiffin.

That's a bad loss.

Cool. One team. Still top 5 in the country which is what you originally disagreed with.

Well now you're already down to 5th as obviously Okie State is ahead of you too. I bet if I really looked I could find at least 2 or 3 others.

Oregon losing to a 2 loss USC team on probation is forgiven, but Arkansas sucks for losing by a few scores to two of the most dominant CFB teams in recent memory...interesting.


And you've demonstrated several times you don't know what "moving the goalposts" means.
