People talk about hard schedules like at Arkansas schedule

[Alsacs]

This schedule is crazy.

September 27th #6 Texas A&M-neutral site
October 11th #7 Alabama
October 18th #10 Georgia
October 25th UAB
November 1st @ #1 Mississippi State
November 15th #17 LSU
November 22nd #8 Ole Miss
November 28th @ #18 Missouri

7 of the last 8 games have been against top 20 competition. They also started the year @ Auburn and won @ Texas Tech. This team is 6-5 and have faced this crazy schedule. This is a hard schedule not what we have played.

 

[Chip]

Yeah, but they're not trying to rebuild from anything... wait.

They are like the BC of southeast. They play the physical "hardnosed" style that we claim to favor. They may not have the talent to win them all right now, but no one gets an easy day when they play them.

I hope they beat Mizzou this weekend, would much rather watch Bama - UGA in the SEC championship.

lets say Syracuse played this schedule...

whats the higher # for the Orange???

the # of losses or the # of points scored??

SEC is overrated.

 

[Alsacs]

I think overall as a whole the SEC is overrated. However, the SEC West is sick division. I don't think Missisippi State is a top 4 team, and before Ole Miss lost two starting defenders and their top WR they were legit but both are top 20 teams.
Alabama is a top 4 team, Auburn is a top 15 team, LSU is a top 25 team, Texas A&M was overrated, but Arkansas has played all of the West teams AND they played the only two decent SEC East teams in Georgia and Mizzou which are top 25 teams.

The fact they are bowl eligible with a game to go shows some serious coaching chops from Bilema.
Syracuse hasn't played an easy schedule but it wasn't hard where we couldn't have won 5-7 games.

agree.

but just think about the teams the Orange beat recently who are now killing it...mizzou, minnesota, kstate...

Losing to Syracuse is a wake up call. Even CMU is bowl eligible at 7-5, with a Top 20 defense. They'll probably win the MAC next year.

 

[Scooch]

agree.

And West Virginia has had a competent year in a very tough conference, all things considered.

It's almost impossible to never, not one freakin' time, get ranked for so much as a week in THIRTEEN years.

But here we are.

 

[ImperialOrange]

I'd like to point out that the team they play this Saturday still has no idea who is supposed to be covering Alec Lemon.
