4. Hogs need to get something going before Auburn and Alabama

Arkansas might have the toughest October schedule in the country. While South Carolina and Ole Miss are sure to be tough, they do not compare to the No. 12 ranked Auburn Tigers and the No. 1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.

Auburn just derailed Mississippi State last week by an even larger margin than Georgia did just two weeks ago. Alabama clearly looks like the best team in the country after they beat Ole Miss by a 63-point margin at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Week 5.

The Hogs do land Auburn at home but it seems almost impossible that any team will be able to beat the Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium, something Arkansas is tasked with. To make it through this gauntlet of an October slate, Arkansas needs to take their wins where they can get them.

South Carolina and Ole Miss give the Hogs a chance to get out of October with a .500 record. However, the Gamecocks and Rebels are still huge tests. Arkansas might not even be favored when they face Ole Miss.
