Arkansas Razorbacks (2-2)

It’s still too early to count Arkansas out. Their only two wins have come against inferior teams (Florida A&M and New Mexico State), but they played Texas A&M pretty closely in Jerry World and if A&M can go on to win eight or nine games, that has to count for something. I’m also interested to see how TCU plays out because if the Horned Frogs emerge as a legit playoff contender, suddenly that 28-7 loss doesn’t look so bad.

Time will tell what this team is made of, but at the moment one thing is clear — this team looks like your typical seven-win Bret Bielema team that lacks the talent, defense, and depth to shakeup the SEC West standings.
