SEC: Upset Alert

I don't know, he made a pretty grievous error in our "upset alert" in saying that we played at Kyle Field when it will be at a neutral site.
 
Fayetteville is never an easy place to play but I think Arkansas defense isn't that improved over last year. It will be close but we will win imo.
 
To be honest, I'm more worried about the SC game than Arkansas. It's a dangerous sandwich game waiting to happen and I haven't forgotten the way the game went at home last year.
 
Well, Arkansas won't be a team that gets overlooked, I'm sure of that. The SEC schedule always has a trap game somewhere, and this has legitimate possibilities. Much of this comes down to which team gels first; after the first couple of games we should get a better read. If our offense is as productive as it should be, I will be much less worried.

Would Northwestern over Vandy even be considered an upset? Northwestern went to a bowl last year and nearly beat Auburn. Vandy has a new coach and is coming off a 2-10 season. How is this an upset?
 
Furthermore, how is Oregon over Tennessee an upset? I'm sure when this game rolls around, Oregon will easily be favored.

What does he mean the visitor is 1-5 in the Alabama Arkansas series? Like, in the past 6 years? Cause I know we have won at Arkansas and they have won at BDS.

2004: @ARK, Ark won 27-10
2005: @BAMA, Bama won 24-13
2006: @ARK, Ark won 24-23 in OT :mad:
2007: @BAMA, Bama won 41-38 (beautiful M. Caddell catch) :biggrin:
2008: @ARK, Bama won 49-14
2009: @BAMA, Bama won 35-7

Looks like our 2008 victory was the only road victory by either team over the past 6 years
 
Miss. State upset alert against UAB? Wow, they must be in worse shape in Starkville than I thought. I was thinking they would be improved this year.

Am I missing something about MSU?

He's meaning UAB beat Mississippi State, isn't he? If not, you're right.
 
Hard to lend too much credibility to this piece. The writer must mean "over the last 5 seasons" on the Arkansas prediction, because we've won three times in Fayetteville (1994, 2002, 2008) and once in Little Rock (1996) since the series began in 1992, and the Razorbacks have won at least a couple that I can think of at Bryant-Denny (1997, 2003).

Also, claiming Oregon will be an underdog to UT is questionable at best. Even with the loss of Masoli, Oregon was recently selected as pre-season PAC-10 favorite and should still be a top ten-to-fifteen team. I realize the game will be played at Neyland Stadium, but Tennessee faces a complete rebuilding project with question marks all over the field, and most are saying they'll do well to win 6 games. I think the Vols will probably be at least a 5-7 point 'dog.

I haven't been terribly impressed with several of the pieces I've read from this site.

I think one of the better laughs I had last season was after the UA/UA game. One of the hog fans (young) was taking the game apart with "mighta beens," coming to the conclusion that the Bama team wasn't all that. An older poster replied with something like "So you're saying they played a lousy game and still won 35-7?"
