then you know you are not the most talented team around.
I don't see how that answered my question... and the OP didn't ask if people thought Arkansas was the most talented team... rather, simply worthy of being called an SEC team. I say yes... what do YOU say?

Serious question. Since they can't beat a Big 10 team
LSU lost its last game they played against a Big 10 team.

can they really be considered SEC quality?
I consider this question to be a troll, or just flat out stupid. Whichever, I will bite.
Since 1992, only 4 teams have gone through the SEC schedule with no losses. Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and Tennessee. Quite the feat, yet not commonly done.
Since 1992, only 7 teams have gone through the SEC schedule with 1 loss or less. Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Tennessee and Georgia. Once again, quite the feat, yet not a common thing amongst the SEC as just over 50% of the teams have done this atleast once since the expansion to an SEC Championship game.
Since joining the SEC, Arkansas has had its worst era of football. Still though, the Hogs have managed to win their side of the conference 3 times and appear in 10 bowl games. It is not a great thing in reaching the championship game. Considering Arkansas won 13 conference championships in its previous 74 years of football, we were a pretty good program. That is winning our conference every 5.6 years.
When we moved into the SEC, we had bad coaching decisions by Frank Broyles. Couple that with the rest of the SEC making good hires, and we are where we are.
Arkansas has hired the right man to get us back to winning games and championships in my opinion.

Ark better than LSU three out of last four yrs.
So the 2007 Arky team was better than the 2007 LSU team?

anyone that thinks that ONE game always determines who the better team is, is stupid.

That was a great game.
When you consider who was on that Arkansas team, then consider who was coaching that Arkansas team I would actually say yes, but coaching was terrible.
The fact Arkansas only won 8 games that year with the All Americans littered on that roster was amazing.

Head-to-head matchups are used to keep some sense of order. I still don't think Arkansas was better than LSU this year, and I'm not really convinced Ohio State was better than Arkansas........at least, definitely not the Ohio State team that should have been playing.

Absolutely. Most teams saying otherwise are usually clinging to anything to make them feel better. Most teams can beat anybody if they only had to get up for one game. Line them up 10 times in a row, and then you would know the better team. I'm also giving ole miss credit of being a better team than JSU.
I don't blame arky fans for saying what they say. This year was probably their best year in decades. They finished as a 3 loss team, and they were fortunate enough to play in the sugar bowl with a the SEC champ going to the NC. So what if they gave OSU a chance to say they can beat the SEC. It's very good for arkansas standards.

It was a great game, probably a little better for you, but I don't think that team was better than:
Glenn Dorsey
Matt Flynn
Early Doucet
Jacob Hester
Craig Steltz
Ryan Perriloux
Keiland Williams
Charles Scott
Ali Highsmith
Brandon Lafell
D. Byrd
Chad Jones
Trindon Holliday
Darry Beckwith
Chevis Jackson
Ricky Jean-Francois

I'll bite, since this an obvious 'bait'.
Most people in Arkansas don't care if the rest consider us 'real SEC'. We'll just go about our business, win a lot of games against the 'real' SEC, go to good to great bowl games, take our share of the cut and be as happy as a pig in mud.
Is that what you were fishing for?
Have a great day!

And Auburn back to their home, especially if they lose to a Pac-10 team in the NCG

Just a “poser”, really. However, I don't blame some LSU Fans for wanting the Hogs out of the SEC. After all, the Tigers do seem to lose to the Hogs on a regular basis and it's only going to get harder as Petrino continues to upgrade the Hog talent. So, exactly what do you plan on doing about it?
Congrats on beating the Aggies last night. It's an annual feat for the Hogs.

Not sure. Refresh my memory. Who won that game?

Arkansas is just fine. I'd keep them way before Vandy, Kentucky, USCe, and even Miss. St.

Threads like this tell me one thing.
The LSU/Arkansas hate reached a new level this year.
I can see this being a real rivalry sometime in the future.
