In 1982 Lou Holtz led his Arkansas Razorbacks to a hard fought 28-24 win over Florida in the Bluebonnet Bowl to cap off a 9-2-1 season where the hogs finished Number 8 in the AP poll. Arkansas would finish a disappointing 6-5 the next year, but few fans probably thought the drought that followed would last as long as it has. 1982 would be the last year Arkansas managed to crack the top 10 of either the AP or coaches poll. That was 28 years ago. To put into perspective, the following is a list of teams that have managed a top 10 finish since the last time Arkansas did:

1)Air Force
2)Alabama
3)Arizona
4)Arizona State
5)Auburn
6)Boise St
7)Boston College
8)BYU
9)California
10)Cincinatti
11)Clemson
12)Colorado
13)East Carolina
14)Florida
15)FSU
16)Georgia
17)Georgia Tech
18)Houston
19)Illinois
20)Iowa
21)Kansas
22)Kansas State
23)LSU
24)Louiseville
25)Marshall
26)Miami (FL)
27)Miami (OH)
28)Michigan
29)Michigan State
30)Missouri
31)Nebraska
32)North Carolina
33)Northwestern
34)Notre Dame
35)Ohio State
36)Oklahoma
37)Oklahoma State
38)Oregon
39)Oregon State
40)Penn St
41)SMU
42)Stanford
43)Syracuse
44)Tennessee
45)Texas
46)Texas A&M
47)TCU
48)Tulane
49)UCLA
50)Utah
51)USC
52)Virginia Tech
53)Washington
54)Washington State
55)West Virginia
56)Wisconsin

Thats almost HALF of ALL BCS teams (including a couple who who were not BCS or who did not even EXIST the last time Arkansas cracked the top 10.) Arkansas has two years to go before it will have been THIRTY YEARS since they cracked the top 10. Can they do it?

Just to clarify for the retards, we're discussing Top 10 finishes.

But to answer your question, I have no fricking clue. My question to you is will LSU get donkey stomped for the 4th time in 5 years?

Probably not, but they could be close.

They should lose to Alabama and LSU in the regular season. So at best they are 10-2 regular season and would be on the cusp of the top 10. If they won their bowl game, they could get to the top 10.

No Arkansas will not finish in the top 10 and LSU will beat Arkansas next year to make it 7 out of the last 11.

You don't think its amazing that 56 teams have managed a top 10 team since you last did? I find that pretty amazing.

LSU fan to Arkansas fan: You have to go way back to find success.

Arkansas fan to LSU fan: We've had recent success against YOU

LSU fan to Arkansas fan: Recent success doesn't matter


I get that circle right?

I could see it happening. They will lose to UA and LSU, but if those are their only losses I would put them in the top 10. I don't see them losing to anyone else in the West. Do they play and tough OOC games?

If you look at our bowl record you'd see why. We suck in bowl games.

They play Texas A&M. I think they will win that one, but they are going to lose to South Carolina next year.

I think its more of a possibility of losing to aTm than SCe at home.
