Also, our non-cons include LA Tech to open the season and then @ TCU. Just brutal.

Wow that's tough. Similar to Ole Miss next season playing:

FSU (in orlando)
Alabama
UGA

In 3 of the first 4 weeks of the season. Going to know really early where we stand

Even with the break of having LSU in there that is still a tough stretch of games. We've got a lot of the tough games at home, but its still a daunting stretch of five SEC teams. And LSU.

Your season will depend on LSU Superbowl game, like it always does.

We know you'll be out of it by then.

That is a tough schedule, esp with TCU as an OOC game.

The key for Arkansas is they really need to start faster and find their identity on offense earlier this year.

The defense should be better, but that secondary is going to have to really step up in what you have to figure will be a pass happy TCU offense.

TCU isn't going to be easy by any stretch but they lose a lot next year.

No, but we do. Our schedule is one of the toughest every year. The NCAA ranked it 3rd last and LSU was 15th. Alabama made a rare appearance at #1, Auburn was 4th, Vandy was 5th, Ole Miss was 7th, MSU was 11th and then LSU appears at 15th. That's all based off opponent winning percentage.

We also finished 3rd the year before, so this is pretty normal for us.

If the season started sometime near the end of October I could believe it.

But until I see Arky start hot (which they should be able to), I expect them to stumble in early games and be monsters in later games.

For the record, Auburn's played the toughest conference schedule among SEC-W teams and Arkansas is 2nd. This is according to the winning percentage of cross-division teams since '92.

I believe LSU is 3rd, though.
