Just ask Alabama.
As for scheduling, we asked Notre Dame, they refused. We asked Michigan, they refused. We asked Nebraska, they refused.
Fair enough. Good luck this year, except against the Pac-10.
Alabama is not a good yardstick to use to measure Arkansas ability. Alabama beat Hawaii by 5, and Vanderbilt by 3 (in the last minute). Alabama is just as bad as Arkansas.
But as Wyatt pointed out - OOC is a red herring. YOu have to compare the entire Schedule.
Auburn plays LSU, Florida, Georgia -- as pointed out, All top 10. LSU only Loss is to Auburn, and this will probably be thier only loss. Florida is undefeated, and only losses likely are to LSU and Aurburn. Georgia is undefeated and may lose to Florida, Auburn and possibly Tennessee.
USC plays - ND, Nebraska, Oregon, California -- All top 25 but, ND has already been totally exposed, Nebraska is o.k. but not great (they will lose at least 2 more games), Oregon honestly lost to Oklahoma and California got spanked by a Tennessee team that is showing itself to be a good team but not great.
"As for the present, beating Arkansas is no accomplishment.
Just ask Alabama."
LOL!!! Beating Alabama is less of an accomplishment than Arkansas. 4 in a row for us.
Honestly, I'd love to play USC again. The Borges - Carrol matchup would be fun to wacth.
