Number 3: The Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas should be better than they were in 2013. In 2013, it took an overtime period for the Bulldogs to finish off the Razorbacks. The Bielema era looked bad in 2013, but it might resemble something closer to what SEC football is supposed to look like in 2014. The Razorbacks will be able to run the football. Expect a lot of their offense to come through the ground game. It will be difficult to stop. So can that help the Razorbacks pull of an upset when they come to Starkville on November 1?
Upset Chance: 15% The Razorbacks do play in the SEC, so they will have a little more talent to put on the field than the non conference opponents will. It still shouldn’t allow the Razorbacks to pull off an upset against the Bulldogs. The one thing that Razorbacks do well is run the ball, and run defense is going to be one of the best parts of Mississippi State’s team. The Razorbacks will be better, but it probably won’t show up in their record next year. The Bulldogs might be challenged in this game, but they shouldn’t lose.
