8 – Arkansas (17) – 3-0 – Even

The Razorbacks seem to be getting better each week, and they looked really impressive in week three with a 42-3 win over Texas State.

I don’t care who it is these days, when you come out and put up a score like that it’s impressive.

Austin Allen is getting more-and-more comfortable in this offense, and Rawleigh Williams III is looking like one of the top backs in the SEC after rushing for 121 yards on 19 carries and 2 touchdowns Saturday.

I’m really interested to see how they matchup against Texas A&M this weekend. Both teams are riding high, and one of them will be humbled Saturday night.

Despite the 3-0 start, I still think the Razorbacks will struggle to make a bowl game.

7 – Georgia (12) – 3-0 – Up 1

I still think this is one of the worst undefeated teams in the country. Somehow they survived on the road against Missouri Saturday night with a one point victory.

The throw that Jacob Eason made to win the game was beautiful. Maybe that’s the spark he needs to give him confidence to lead the offense.

This win could be the turning point for this team in 2016. I know it was just Missouri, but they appeared doomed to lose that game and somehow came out with the victory.

There has to be a lot of confidence within this group now.

We’ll see if they can carry that over into another tough road game against a team that is coming off a close, emotional loss in Ole Miss.

Next: Tennessee and LSU
