After winning in Starkville with an inspired effort, Arkansas will hit the road again to take on what is likely to be a ranked BYU team. The Cougars will be coming off a tough loss to Notre Dame in Las Vegas the week before, hoping to right the ship but Sam Pittman will have his guys ready.

Arkansas will steal a big road win here, showing the rest of the SEC that they’re not messing around after losing to Alabama and Texas A&M a couple of weeks earlier. This will be one of their best wins of the season.

Prediction: Win (5-2)

I’m not buying any stock in Auburn this season because of the whole Bryan Harsin situation and even though this game will be played at Jordan-Hare, I think the Razorbacks are ready to exact some revenge.

Sam Pittman hasn’t beaten the Tigers yet and the game two years ago left a sour taste in his mouth when Bo Nix spiked the ball backwards but the refs botched the call and said it wasn’t a fumble (it was). He’ll get his revenge here in Auburn as the Razorbacks beat the Tigers by a touchdown.

Prediction: Win (6-2, 3-2)
