4. Arkansas

Last week rank: 9

Week 2 result: (2-0) 41-38 Win against TCU

Well. Arkansas certainly made up for that 21-20 win against Louisiana Tech in week one.

Essentially, don’t play Arkansas to overtime. You’ll lose. Ole Miss and TCU can attest to that. Arkansas looked like a world beater in their incredible performance against the Horned Frogs. Austin Allen looked almost identical to his brother, Brandon. The Arkansas running game was clicking and the defense made the necessary stops it needed to in a shootout to get the win. Arkansas looked like the team that they normally look like in November, which is good news for Brett Bielema’s squad.

In a loaded SEC West, Arkansas looked capable of making some noise.

Next Game: Saturday, September 17, vs Texas State 7:30 ET SEC Network
