8 – LSU – 2-2 (1-1) – Down 3

How in the world you continue to have such a poor offense with the amount of talent that LSU has is baffling.

Apparently the LSU Athletic Department couldn’t figure it out either so they decided to give Les Miles the boot before he figured it out.

LSU has the best running back in the notion, and some of the best receivers in the country, but somehow the coaches can’t score points.

Any time you want to complain about Auburn’s woes on offense, take a look at LSU.

Now they have to collect themselves and try to salvage the season. In the end they just have one SEC loss and are still alive for the SEC.

They have Missouri this weekend to try and figure things out before going to the Swamp.

7 – Arkansas – 3-1 (0-1) – Up One

Don’t be fooled by the final score of that Texas A&M and Arkansas game, it was a touchdown game going into the fourth quarter.

I thought the Razorbacks would be exploited by Texas A&M in this game, but they actually proved themselves to me. This is a dangerous team this year, which is unexpected after all they lost.

Now, they did end up allowing three fourth quarter touchdowns to ultimately get thumped 45-24. But I think Texas A&M is a very good team and Arkansas kept this one close for three quarters.

The Razorbacks get a warm-up game against Alcorn State this weekend before getting a chance to knock off Alabama in Fayetteville.

After Alabama the Razorbacks will face Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State and Missouri completing a rough stretch of seven games to end the season. They’ll be hard-pressed to find two more wins in those games to become bowl eligible.

Next: Auburn and Florida
