Arkansas wins the SEC Western Division title
Honestly these are the games that teams in the SEC usually lose big time. They get their minds into the next game instead of playing the game they are at and they get beat. Actually Arkansas won a game earlier this year against Auburn because they were focused on winning the next weeks game against Florida and Arkansas came to play football today. Next week we get to take one the overrated LSU team on our way to Atlanta. But as my dad always says and is the ultimate truism about the SEC, on any given week any team can be a national champion. Where the other conferences have a small handful of decent teams, the SEC is cram packed full of great teams. Unfortunately we tend to suffer a lot of injuries and agonizingly close defeats, which causes our teams to always appear lower on the listings, where you have a Ohio State or Michigan that really only have one maybe two good teams in their conferences, so they are always fresh and untested against real teams.
I also want to give some words of encouragement to the crushed Bama fans that read the blog. I'll admit that I was cheering for Auburn because past indignities visited on Arkansas by Alabama. I'd normally say it has something to do with the obnoxious nature of the fans, but the reality SEC is filled with obnoxious fans for every team so there really isn't any that are much worse than the others. Actually strike that, Florida team fans are the worse, actually I think they are the reason that most of our fans have gotten so obnoxious. But next year, I promise I'll be neutral in Ironbowl game.

A word to the wise, you cannot be neutral about an Ironbowl game. You better have another team you are yelling for.

Well mostly I guess it would depend on who's loss in the Ironbowl would make for a more interesting SEC contest.
