#16 Arkansas

2010-2011: 10-3 (6-2, SEC)

This season Arkansas will be hurt by one thing more than any other.  I know what you're thinking, but it isn't the departure of Ryan Mallet (who the Bengals should've taken), but the fact that they play in the SEC West.  Welcome to the hardest division college football has ever seen, Pigs.  Pick your poison whether that be @Bama game 4, at home against Auburn game 6, @Ole Miss game 7, at home against Mississippi State game 11, or @LSU game 12.  It's an uphill battle, with an inexperienced QB...but that same quarterback did manage 323 yards and 4 touchdowns relieving and injured Mallet against Auburn (who won the National Title) last year.  The Pigs will fly around and score, but hopefully they can stop people a little better.  Strong defense has been the SEC's signature for years, and if the Pigs want to soar then they need to jump on the defensive wagon.

2011-2012 Outlook:
Key Game: October 8th versus Auburn...this is the easiest win out of all the SEC West against any team not named Ole Miss.  It is right smack in the middle of SEC play and could catapult Arkansas forward or backward.
Predicted Record: 8-4 (5-3) {losses versus Alabama, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and LSU}
