Why all the Arkansas hype?

I know they finished strong last year. But i've seen people put Arkansas and championship in the same sentence. Do people really believe that? Bret Bielema is 10-15 overall and 2-14 in the SEC. His two SEC wins were over Ole Miss with a hurt Bo Wallace and a down LSU team. They also lost their 3 best defensive players Speight, Flowers, and Philon. Does anyone really think they can contend??

I must have missed the legitimate hype. It appears you've been sailed on.

Nah, but they'll be another tough out and probably win 8 games this year.

Don't get us wrong, we don't think they'll contend in the way the top tier schools contend. They'll contend in the way Ole Miss and A&M contend.

Hurt Bo Wallace?
Bielema's past record means little in the upcoming season, he is steadily bringing us out of the Petrino dumpster fire
I haven't seen or heard any championship hype though

Nation's best defense.
5th year senior quarterback.
Two NFL running backs.
Biggest O-line in football.
Those are some of the reasons. Plus Bielema is an elite coach.

They will win eight games this year and be tough for everyone.

Because fat Bert is a good coach.

If by people you mean Arkansas fans, yes.

I don't see us winning it all or anything but 9 or 10 wins isn't out of the question if we get enough breaks

I think Arkansas made some advances but they won't be competing for the SEC in 2015.
They won't be an easy win but they will get 4 league wins.

I don't know, maybe because some folks can finally see what Bert is building? Maybe because they can not see any glaring weaknesses any more? (We could use better depth in a couple of spots though.)
I'm not claiming we are going to win the West this year (but not ruling out the possibility either), but from every angle I can look at the team, the coaching, the program - I only see things that have improved steadily, including this spring.
No hype, just an honest observation.

Arkansas and Tennessee will play twice this upcoming season. Book it.

8-10 wins probably
4 returning Oline
Deepest Arkansas has been on DLine in my lifetime
2 NFL RBs
Elite TE play
Return 8 starters from a top 10 defense
5th year Sr QB who went 20/5 lst year
Arkansas was oh so close to being a 10 win team in 2014

Why is there so much hype for Auburn when they also lost to A&M last year?
