5. Georgia (L)

Looking at the powers of the East division in the SEC, and at how much offensive attrition Florida is losing to the approaching NFL draft, Georgia appears to be the go-to team when betting on one to get to the conference championship and stun Alabama. Some would even go as far as to classify them as a playoff dark horse. So it looks here as if the Razorbacks are going to be handed a second consecutive whooping.

Record: 1-4 (0-2)

6. Ole Miss (L)

The Rebels have been subpar at best by Southeastern standards, but they will still pull out a victory over Arkansas next season. Ole Miss has a better head coach in Lane Kiffin, and despite it being against the Crimson Tide, the Rebels proved last year that their offense can really break that scoreboard.

Mississippi will not be nearly as good as their fans think they will, but a convincing home win over the Razorbacks is a guarantee for the near future.

Record: 1-5 (0-3)

7. Auburn (L)

Auburn was a pretty hot and cold program under Gus Malzahn, but they will certainly take a noticeable hit to their performance now that he has gotten the boot. However, it is hard to imagine the Tigers dropping so steeply that Arkansas, after a multitude of humiliating losses, would have it in them to pull off an upset here.

Record: 1-6 (0-4)

8. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (W)

No matter how bad the Razorbacks may be next season, a loss against UAPB ought as well be considered statistically impossible, because of program sizes alone. Arkansas has bigger and better players, and face bigger and better competition. The Razorbacks will have this one weekend to feel like a winner.

Record: 2-6
