We win ugly and it hurts us?

Maybe it's bias but it really seems like every team we play comes into the game as though we're their arch rival. We seem to get everyone's best shot almost without fail.

So? Who wants to see them walk in and lay down? We would get bored and break out the DVD set we just bought at Wal Mart, and spend the day watching "I Love Lucy" or "My Favorite Martian" instead. We were entertained, because both sides gave their best. The winner gets the spoils, but the loser leaves with our respect. Why? Because we expected them to give their best. What are you bitchin about? Not winning by a wide margin means your jeering at them looks asinine.

Funny how things work out by the end of the season. If we go 10-2, it's not a guarantee, but it's likely we get in

Not if UGA, Ole Miss, Bama and A&M are all sitting there with 1 loss each which could easily happen in UGA beats Ole Miss. Im not convinced we got 10-2 anyway. Vandy And UF both can beat us right now with the way our run defense is playing. Heck the offense wasnt up to par yesterday either.

I predicted us to go 9-3, so I am not saying we'll go 10-2. If we do, we're likely in the playoffs.

If UGA loses to Ole Miss, they will be playing a playoff game against Georgia Tech the final week of the season.

In my perfect world, we win vs Bama and Ole Miss knocks off Georgia. I’d gladly take OU losing in Columbia and LSU beating Vandy as icing on the cake

not very likely...10-2 gets us the playoffs as long as the loss is to Bama or Oklahoma

Exactly. Yes, there's scenarios where we aren't but to me, there's just as good of a chance we lose 3 more games as there is we win out...but the point is, just keep winning...pretty or ugly doesn't matter. Most all teams in the mix w/ us in SEC will be in the same boat and really no one's got it easy. Teams will start checking themselves out of the race over the next couple of weeks and will probably come down to some key games the last week or two of the season.

Hmmmm, well then, just think of Florida, Georgia and Alabama then.

Those teams have equivalent or superior talent to us, so I definitely get it with them. I consider Arkansas to be an inferior program, honestly. Probably bottom 4 in the league, only above Vandy, Kentucky and Mississippi State. But when we play them, it certainly doesn’t seem like it. The perplexing part is how well they play in Neyland Stadium. I anticipate almost every league road game being a dog fight, but we usually handle the lower echelon teams of the league with ease at home. Except Arkansas.

Disagree on it being likely we're in at 10-2. It'll be very much a 50-50 kind of thing where we are hoping for someone to lose to make sure we get in. Theres too many other SEC teams with a chance to got 11-1 as a lot of teams at the top don't have to play each other.

League play has still only just begun. There will be upsets. 10-2 most likely earns a playoff spot after the dust settles.

I just don't get it. We win ugly, but we WIN. There is NO ONE in the SEC who is gonna lay down for anyone. Yet it doesn't seem to matter unless you grind their nose into the dirt. And at the end of the day, we did. Suppose we beat Bama by one in O.T.? Using their logic, it doesn't count for much. Hell, I'm proud of those young men. Arkansas, like Florida, has had our number for a good while, and they got that monkey off of their backs. On to Bama!

Stop looking for external validation.

Focus on putting BT Bama’s A.

Is that what you think will happen or what you hope will happen?

Just my gut feeling. Arkansas won’t play as well as they did yesterday probably the rest of this season. They had their one game boost from a coaching change. The aggies are legitimately a playoff contender. They won’t mess around to put them away.
