TN-Ark will be the 11am SEC network game.

I have a hard time believing that would be the game over UGA-Bama, purely from a national viewership standpoint, but they both should be great games.

I wouldn't say nowhere near 50%, but OU should be the favorite. Even if Tennessee is better next year, they're not likely to start the season strong.

Arkansas doesn't care if you know what they are going to run. In fact, if you ask they'll tell you... and ask you what you are going to do about it.
The bigger question is how will the qb play and how will the defense do. Arky looks good, but I think they are probably 7-8 wins good.

That makes no sense. Why would we not start the season strong? Sure teams get better as seasons progress but we're not fielding a new line this year or a team full of true freshmen where they literally need to get at least 6 games under their belts before you can say they even have experience. Our team will still be one of the youngest in CFB but they won't be nearly as green as they were last year.
This team's biggest question marks are: 1. has the oline improved enough? Dobbs masks most of their problems but I do believe they've gotten better. They won't be much more than average but they don't need to be. 2. Who will step up at middle linebacker?
That's it. If we stay healthy, we'll be ok as we're still thin in spots but overall we need health, an improved oline, and an MLB. Right now my biggest worry is at MLB which is good because I've been obsessed with out OL for the past year and half. Also on the health note we need all our players who missed parts of the spring back healthy.

There is also another one that kind of big
How will Dobbs play against good competition?
No doubt Tennessee has more question marks than Arkansas, of course they have an easier road so it could get interesting

If, and that is a big IF, things fall into place then yes the Hogs/Vols could be big for the SEC. The problem with that scenario is that both teams are rebuilding depth after disastrous recruiting prior to the current coaches.
Hell yes I'd love for Arkansas to make the final four this year. I am sure the Vol fans would concur for their team. Neither is there yet though. You need depth to replace the injured players that happen every season. For various reasons neither team is quite there yet.

He's played pretty well against good teams.
Question is, how much will he improve behind an Oline with much more experience and with more talent behind him at the RB position?

Dobbs outplayed Alabama's defense this year. He actually outscored Bama in the 2nd half. He's not really a question mark in anyone's eyes at all. Once it started to click it clicked. He just keeps getting better.
Right now, he's working an aerospace engineering internship at Pratt and Whitney in Florida. He'll be back leading summer workouts in June.
Now the health of Dobbs is important but no one doubts Dobbs ability to handle it all against any competition in the program nor do most analysts. He's proven it several times.

QB has been much better this spring with a new coach, of course, that has to carry over to the season. He will have a few more options to throw to as well.
Defense *might* not be quite as stout up front minus Philon and Flowers, but DL won't be bad by any stretch. LB will be okay, we won't have a Spaight but will be okay. Back end will be better.

Are we talking about football or Bert and Butch belly busting at the pool?

The Vandy-Georgia Southern game got optioned for the 3:30 kickoff instead.

Well... I mean watching a Sunbelt team roflstomp an SEC team should get some views. I can't argue with that.

Isn't the CCG always on prime time?

Hopefully they build it up like they did for the undefeated Kentucky national championship run. It worked out well for them.

This should be UGA-Bama

Not sure how TN has more question marks than Arkansas?
Ark still has questions in its passing game on O.
Ark has questions all across their defensive front seven.
Only questions TN has is if it's OL that returns 9 of the 10 of it's two deep from last year can improve (probable yes) and if we can find a good MLB.
IMO TN's questions are much smaller than Arkansas.
