Although everyone remembers what happens in November, will they want to remember what happens to Bret Bielema and Arkansas football?

It’s been a really long and unforgiving season for Arkansas thus far. As they head into their final stretch of the season, they carry with them a stunning 3-5 record. Included in that record is only one conference win, which came against Ole Miss who is the last place team in the SEC West.

Needless to say, this season is not going how many thought it would go. For fans, it’s a season of more questions being raised than answers being given about the program under Bret Bielema.

The Razorbacks are barely crawling into the last month of regular season games. With November comes four games and a big decision for the Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long. Here are my five predictions for Arkansas during November.

5. The only win that’s almost guaranteed

I’ll start the story of November for the Razorbacks at the beginning and that means looking at this coming game against Coastal Carolina University. A team that is 1-7 for the season. I think it is pretty much a given that Arkansas should win this game in a big way. Currently, they have a 95.6 percent to win according to the ESPN Football Power Index and are a 23.5 point favorite in the spread.

This is literally the only game left on Arkansas’ schedule that is as close to guaranteed as one can get. This win would bring Arkansas up to 4-5 but is that the ceiling for the Razorbacks in 2017?
