(4) Auburn 38, Arkansas 20
Well we showed up to play 2 quarters again, against an SEC team, and we promptly got our butts handed to us. I'm not sure what the game plan was going into this game, but it was terrible. Personally I think this is the problem with having seniors on the team at all. They tend to get lazy and unmotivated much more quickly than the younger guys. It's only when they are losing by a lot that they decide to start paying attention to the game. To be beat by a no-name team like Auburn is a major embarrassment. And it's not like Auburn was playing fundamentally better football, they were just playing football while Arkansas was going through the motions.

I really can't comment much since Penn State has really gone downhill, but to say that the number 4 ranked team in the nation is a no-name? Face it, Arkansas is looking like the doormat of the SEC.

Dianne mentioned this morning that we may be the doormat, but at least we aren't Ole Miss. I checked it out, and actually even Ole Miss is doing better than us this year. Only Mississippi State is doing worse in the SEC West, and Kentucky in SEC East. It's grim dark days to say the least.
As for the team rankings, the BCS is a joke there is no way to take their rankings seriously. We need to go to playoff setup so that we can actually see who the decent teams actually are.

You're not kidding about grim, dark days. I still can't believe Penn State has fallen into irrelevance.
Your comments about the BCS are right on. I can't believe that college football is the only sport (only counting division 1A) where playoffs do not exist. It's ridiculous.

It's hard to believe that all the bowl owners greed gets to override good sense and greater ticket sales. It's like they can't see the dollars for all the dollars kind of problem. Maybe we need to get a new commissioner or something to get the NCAA on the right track. What's happening now is a travesty of justice to say the least.
