back then, MI, AL & GA Tech were considered powerhouses
FSU was probably considered our "cupcake game"
Vandy is an SEC team
how they did that year doesn't matter; the fact that big name schools were scheduled like that is the point
but I'm guessing you knew that
and I can't believe you took the time to look up the records
I picked that year because we had MI on the schedule and beat them (something I had been looking at based on this years playoffs)
we lost to MI in '57 and had TX & Navy the same year (Navy was good back then)
interesting side note - UGA has now played MI 3 times; twice in Ann Arbor & once in a bowl game - back then, UGA was not good or strong enough to demand a return trip to Athens

C'mon man, don't be that guy...
In some of those circumstances the record isn't a great indicator of strength overall.
Personally speaking about Arkansas, we could have a sucky record and be 2nd in the Big 12. other major conferences. THis conference eats its own. As Josh Pate said, Arkansas would have won several conferences or finished 2nd in those and would have been good enough for a playoff position in the future. 9 wins in the SEC for the 2nd year coach is fairly dang good.
plus, when we, GA, FL the SEC schedules... they may be great at that time and then suck by the time the schedule comes around. or vice/versa. Notre Dame was cancelled for use last year because of Covid.. I believe. BUt are back on our schedule in the coming years, as is Ok State, Cincy, etc.
