Arkansas begins the year ranked 21st
UTEP: Arkansas rushing attack will be far too much for UTEP to handle.
Arkansas WINS 52-7
18th
Toledo: Once again, Toledo will have no answer for the razorback offense.
Arkansas WINS 49-10
15th
Texas Tech: The red raiders post the first defensive challenge for the Razorbacks. But the TT defense will have their hands full. This will be a great preparation for the Texas A&M game the following week.
Arkansas WINS 49-28
11th
Texas A&M: Texas A&M will have a solid offense, but how much can the defense improve? A&M will pose challenges to both Arkansas offense and defense, but no challenge too large to overcome. This will be a top 20 matchup that the hogs will win, especially after the way Arkansas choked away the win in 2014.
Arkansas WINS 28-24
9th
@Tennessee: Tennessee is returning 18 starters. They will be prepared for the Razorbacks. This game will be a toss up, however, tennessee gets the edge due to home field advantage.
Arkansas LOSES 17-21
16th
@Alabama: The Hogs came so close to doing the unthinkable last year. And that is why the tide will not be sleeping on the Razorbacks in this game. Alabama will be able to nearly eliminate Arkansas run game. Arkansas will handle alabama's offense well and hold them to 260 yards of offense. But BAMA refs...
Arkansas LOSES 10-17
23rd
BYE: Arkansas will get a much needed bye week after the brutal three game stretch. At this point in the season the defense will have jelled and the offense will be a well lubricated machine.
23rd
Auburn: Auburn will enter the game ranked 8th with a 5-1 record with a loss to either Louisville or LSU. Arkansas will be 4-2 and ranked 23rd. This will likely be a night game in Fayetteville. It will be loud and the hogs will roll. Auburn will not be able to stop the brutal rushing and efficient passing attacks. Arkansas will handle the finesse auburn offense well and win convincingly. This will be the statement game of the year.
Arkansas WINS 38-20
16th
UT-Martin: UT-Martin is in a bad spot in Arkansas schedule. After rolling over auburn, the Razorbacks will be oozing momentum as they roll in this one, shutting out UT-Martin in their homecoming game.
Arkansas WINS 59-0
14th
@Ole Miss: under normal circumstances, ole miss would likely win this game, however, the two weeks prior to this game, the rebels will face Texas A&M and travel to Auburn. Not to mention that ole miss will have played 9 straight games to open the season prior to their matchup with Arkansas. The Razorbacks will be coming off of an easy victory of UT-Martin and will have plenty of momentum going into this game. Ole Miss will give Arkansas a serious run for their money, but the hogs will eek this one out.
Arkansas WINS 24-17
11th
@LSU: Back to back road games are never easy, but if the hogs had to pick a tough road game to play, it would be LSU. LSU will be coming off of a loss to Alabama the week prior and will be set for their annual letdown during the week after the Bama game. Arkansas will be able to contain fournette for 18 carries for 65 yards and limit LSU's passing game. LSU will slow down Arkansas offense as well but the hogs will pull it out due to the fact that LSU will be coming off of a brutal physical game at Alabama.
Arkansas WINS 21-17
9th
Mississippi State: Mississippi state is returning just 5 starters from last years team. They'll also be coming off of a game versus the Crimson tide. A game which they will receive a beat down. They also play Ole Miss, their biggest rival, the week after the Arkansas game. So the Razorbacks get MSU in the sweet spot and will give MSU one of their worst beat downs of the year.
Arkansas WINS 52-21
8th
Missouri: Arkansas will be looking for revenge in this years rivalry after giving up two late touchdowns in a 7 point loss to the Tigers in 2014. Missouri's defense will be unable to to stop Arkansas offense and the hogs defense will have their way for the most part.
Arkansas WINS 35-14
Arkansas finishes the season 10-2 (6-2) in conference and ranked 7th in the country. After the conference championship games, they'll move up the 6th and just whiff on a playoff spot.
Any flaws in my logic? Now this is wishful to an extent but very possible. We could end up splitting Texas A&M and tennessee and splitting LSU/Ole Miss and losing to alabama and going 9-3, which I believe is the most likely case. But imagine if we go 10-2 and win our last 6 games of the year? We could be mentioned in playoff talk...
