What? Arkansas was the hottest SEC team in the country at the end of the season. They shut out LSU and Ole Miss, back to back!! Yes, Miss St got handled by Georgia Tech and lost 2 SEC games. But they went to the Orange Bowl and their losses were to ranked teams.Originally posted by jeff2001:
Schedule. I hate to say it but they got a good chance to win the east again. With MSU and at Arkansas they have the easiest west schedule.
I really haven't looked at schedules much. But dang UGA has bama at home and at Auburn. They could lose both of those.Originally posted by Number1pjones:
It's not worth arguing about it. I think we will be competitive in every game, but I don't think Mizzou's west schedule is any easier than ours. Arkansas shut LSU out last year! Our defense will be much better prepared for A&M and the team will be highly motivated to go into College Station and make a statement. We have LSU at home and I think we will be ready to go.
I agree. Arky looked bad early, but really made a strong run late. MSU had some issues late in the season. But with Prescott back, I think they will be tough outs for anybody. Mizzou did beat Arky last season, after the Razorbacks had shut out LSU and Ole Miss. Something to be said for that. Mizzou is not afraid to step up and compete, plus they put losses behind them quickly.I don't think anyone wants a part of Arky right now and last I checked, MSU had a pretty good year and has Prescott back. I could see both those teams being Top 10. That cannot be a good schedule other than the fact that the east will probably suck again.
