7) Arkansas Razorbacks

First things first. After I started thinking about this, I realized how difficult this division was and there was really no way to get this right.

In 2013, the Razorbacks went 3-9. That was a bit expected with the mess that Petrino left them having to deal with into the next seasons. They were winless in the SEC and only had wins against Southern Miss, Samford, and Louisiana-Lafayette in 2013. To finish out the season, they had pretty close losses to Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU, and Auburn. Now, here we are in 2014.

The Razorbacks are already sitting with a 1-1 record with a loss to Auburn and Bielema and crew had them tied up at halftime at their place on the road. The offense was working pretty well, rushing for 153 yards with 358 overall. A win against Nicholls State gave the Hogs a chance to get the offense running, almost putting up 700 yards of offense on them.

Things are already looking up, but I feel the SEC West has too many good teams at the top for the Hogs to make too much noise this season. Their last seven games are absolutely brutal with home games against Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and LSU and away games at Mississippi State and Missouri.

Quarterback Brandon Allen is putting up some good numbers with 22 completions on 36 attempts for 292 yards and six touchdowns. On the rushing side of the ball, Alex Collins is doing his thing as well as Jonathan Williams. Collins has 23 carries and is only one yard shy of 200 with three touchdowns. Williams has recorded 177 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns.

Razorbacks, show us something to get you guys moved up.
