A year ago, Texas A&M was considered the most disappointing team in college football. The Aggies landed the No. 1 recruiting class in the country and then proceeded to go 5-7, missing a bowl game completely in a year that they were expected to contend for an SEC title.

Well, quarterback play may finally be fixed in College Station with former five-star Conner Weigman leading the way and they’ll likely be much better this season. I still don’t think they’ll be full “back” though.

Arkansas and Texas A&M always seem to play thrillers in this rivalry game and this will be no different. The Razorbacks squeak by.

Prediction: Win (4-1, 1-1)

The job that Lane Kiffin has done is a short period of time down in Oxford has been nothing short of incredible. He has turned the Ole Miss program around into a perennial winner and 10-win seasons are no longer unattainable for the Rebels.

He brings back Jaxson Dart at quarterback and he added a couple of other gunslingers to push him. This offense is going to be scary, especially if Dart can play to his potential.

Winning in Oxford just won’t be on the menu for Arkansas here.

Prediction: Loss (4-2, 1-2)
