1. Arkansas will upset #15 TCU in Fort Worth

Perhaps this one is the most likely to come true out of all the bold predictions for this week. There is something about TCU. This year, they will have trouble early, and this is where it all starts. The Razorbacks are coming off a decent season where they made strides as a team. TCU had a stellar season last year, grabbing wins against top competition like Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. While their ranking is deserved, it doesn’t line up with expectations for this year.

TCU will have an extremely tough opponent in Arkansas. Arkansas loves to run the ball. They love their offensive line. Expect this game to go slow once Arkansas gets the ball, as they will want to counter the Horned Frogs quick attack. If the Hogs can show up early and score, their defense should be stout throughout. Of course, this is easier said than done. TCU will score, but they won’t score enough to come out with the win. Arkansas wins on their final drives, which ends up taking most of the fourth quarter away from TCU.
