We are not fans of being in the top 5. Gets us every time. Let's just get to the playoffs where it really counts.

One could argue that Bama, UGA, and Ole Miss are also not playoff teams. So who does that leave in the SEC? Texas? I think Texas will have at least 1 maybe 2 losses when the season ends.

Texas has the easiest schedule in the sec

I had an eerie sense of foreshadowing before the game when I saw the Tennessee truck wrecked in Arkansas.

Enjoying it while it lasts. Still ranked in the top 10 which is all well and good, but as the season progresses we learn more about how good of a team this is. And unless we can get major improvement along the offensive line to get to playing aggressive football offensively it’s at best a 9-3 year to me. I’m hoping I’m wrong and really want a win this weekend against the gators 🐊 go Vols 🍊

Arkansas is honestly two plays away from being undefeated. They're not as bad as they're record is....still no excuse for last night's performance. That offensive line needs to get it together

Their QB can flat out play. If he cuts out the TO's like he did Sat. they will win a bunch more games. He made some perfect passes, McCoy has some good coverage, he just got beat by near perfect throws and his receivers made some plays.

We will see how good or not Texas is in the next two weeks. Given that Michigan is really not all that good this year, Texas has not been challenged so they may or may not be as good as advertised.

And this coming weekend will shake up the top 4, well at least the top 3 -

Oregon is at OSU
PSU is at USC
Texas is at OU

At least one of the unbeatens will not be unbeaten after this coming weekend - could be three.

Weird how the voters don’t agree with Vol fans that we are trash now…🤔

Idk what game most on here were watching but I couldn’t watch until tonight. Up until now I was convinced we were trash from reading volnation

We had a few calls go against us. Could’ve gotten a few key holding calls.

But mainly they just played a great game and our offense didn’t. Sometimes it’s like that. They had multiple pass plays that 9 times out of 10 aren’t caught but the receiver came down with it.

It was a road game and Arkansas is better than their record shows. I’m not worried going forward after watching.

Texas vs OU is a neutral site game, like it is every year.

Arkansas did not play great. Missed a wide open TD on the first drive, dropped a TD, multiple missed 4th down conversions. Also, they only scored 19 (after letting him walk in for the last one) no excuse for not winning that game

Because fans see the bigger picture. Voters only vote based on past results, not the schedule ahead. Plus they don't watch as much Tennessee as we do. They're basically casuals lol

Actually, it seems these days that fans are the first to trash their team when they lose and have the sky falling. Not all fans, but many. I think the voters are more logical as they do not have the same level of feelings invested that some fans seem to have.

UGA fans sounded the doomsday alarm after losing to Bama. I'm sure the Bama fans are sounding the doomsday alarm. I'm sure the Ole Miss fans did aa well.

It is a long season; the best will rise to the top and overcome a bad game or two.

We will know for sure over the next few weeks how good this team is and can be or whether we will be waiting for next year.

I don't get the narrative that Arkansas is a bad team...In their two losses on the road they out gained OK St and TAMU pretty significantly.
Ok ST went to OT but AR had 3 TOs. Against TAMU they had 3 turnovers and TAMU had zero.

I just think all the talk that Arkansas is a bad team is a little misplaced.
