Auburn is either finishing last or next to last in the West
Didn't Auburn take Arky to 4 OT in Fayetteville last year? I can't imagine Auburn being any worse this year than they were last year.
If there wasn't a dimes difference between Auburn and Arkansas last season, why do all you Hogs seem to think you'll easily finish ahead of Auburn this year when you have a new QB, RB, and the game is now in Auburn?

I can't speak for other Arkansas fans but I don't think we will finish anywhere in the West easily. You can make arguments that both teams really didn't play their best games that day. Auburn had about 10 dropped passes and Arkansas' offense looked asleep at times until the explosive OT. I don't think you can look at that game and get a clear gauge of either team last year or moving into this year.

Mainly because they hired Kevin Steele.
Also, that's bad logic. While that game went into overtime, Arkansas finished third in the West with a 5-3 conference record, while Auburn was last with a 2-6 record. We also got a lot better as the season went along while Auburn stayed mediocre for the entire season.
Besides, using one game, even if it was between the two teams, is a bad way of predicting how they'll finish next year.
And yes we do lose our QB and RB, but I also expect the defense to be a lot better, specifically the pass rush and pass defense.
