No.


And yes, better and improved. Still think 6-6 due to the schedule.

At least one favorite will lose to Arkansas. Just hope it's not us in Fayetteville.


Y'all won't be the favorite by that time so no need to worry

What's funny, in the SEC you could be a top 1/4 team in any other conference but still finish at the bottom.

But yes, I think they are better than thought. They have a great shot against A&M. I expect Arky to run right at Myles Garrett. His motor will run him right out of the play.

We are about where most reasonable Arkansas fans thought we'd be at this point. We are in a 4 yr rebuild to be truly a factor in the SECw.

6-7 wins would be great this year.8 wins(which I really doubt) should win BB the SEC COTY

Yes, they are the 8th best team in the SEC this year behind the other 6 West teams and South Carolina.

Truth is, Arky is a decent football team, and with some good recruiting and some continuity on D, will be a solid team in the West for as long as Bert is there. I like to pick on the Hogs and Bert as much as the next guy, but they are not a bad football team.

He is 2-0 against Arky and has not lost at Jerryworld (Cotton Bowl vs. OU). Not that difficult

depth and overall talent on defense is killing the hogs right now. theyre gonna get worn out if they cant stop teams on 3rd down.

that said, they looked good saturday.

At the risk of sounding like I'm white knighting for Arky just to make Auburn's win sound better, they have certainly improved since last season. I would hazard that they'll be bowl eligible, 6-6 or 7-5 this season. That running game is really coming into its own.

As long as we don't shite the bed against NIU I think everyone expects us to be 3-4 with another win coming against UAB and needing to go 2-2 against both Mississippi schools, LSU and Missouri for bowl eligibility.

They are better than I thought, but still lost to us by 24... Would be a top 3 team in the Big 12 (which has 10 members).

Do not see them being favored in any SEC game, but I believe they will win a couple, go 6-6 and go to a bowl game.

Also, Bert is Fat...

They have a good running game but Brandon Allen is probably one of the worst quarterbacks in the SEC. He doesn't throw the ball because he doesn't have to but they fall behind and he's not a guy you can count on to make miracles happen. Hunter Henry is a good tight end but the rest of the receiving corps is meh, imo

And the defense is good but not great. They are just unfortunate to be stuck in the SEC west. If they can turn it around in recruiting and be patient with Bielema, they might be a thorn in someone's arse but not this year.

It's not hard to comprehend that I misread what he said. Not that any of that matters when it comes to football.

That being said, we get our first loss against you in Jerry World this year.

I believe they will win 5 games, but I have trouble finding the 6th game. Though it isn't hard to think some of the teams left on the schedule currently valued high could be over valued.
