    That article illustrates why so many schools have shit schedules. 8 wins!!!1111!!!

    Nobody even looks at how bad the wins were and how many games the team playes

    8 wins and #41 in SRS.

    Arkansas was 7-6 but was #12 in SRS...better than every pac-12 school but Oregon.
    They were better than UW, but that's ridiculous. They beat one team that finished in the top 25, and that was a free falling Ole Miss that was plungered in their bowl game.

    UCLA beat four teams that finished in the top 25 (#12 ASU, #18 Kansas State, #19 Arizona, #20 USC).

    Arkansas would have plungered UCLA last year
    Based on what exactly?

    Its an objective formula. UCLA was #14.

    Arkansas lost to Alabama by 1, Miss St by 7 on the road and crushed Ole Miss and LSU by a combined 47-0. They also beat Texas by 24 in the bowl game who UCLA only beat by 3 at the start of the year. Their last 5 games against Texas and 4 ranked teams they only gave up 9ppg.

    Arkie stays close with SEC teams, therefore, they're really good?

    I completely disagree. I don't have a problem with SRS, and think it can be useful, but it's not the bible either. It's a formula. Results are results. Beating 4 top 25 teams is better than beating one. I don't think close losses should be rewarded. A team that goes 2-6 in conference is mediocre at best. Rewarding them with a #12 ranking is ridiculous. And while the SEC was a strong conference, they also shit the bed come bowl season. Ole Miss was plungered, Miss State was beaten soundly, Auburn lost to a Wisconsin team coming off a 59-0 loss, LSU lost to a mediocre Notre Dame.

    Arkansas lost a late season game to Missouri after their impressive 47-0 two game stretch. They were plungered by Auburn and Georgia. They improved as the season went along and the arrow is pointing up, but they weren't close to being the #12 team.

    Kansas State beat Texas 23-0. UCLA beat Texas by 3. Was Kansas State 20 points better than UCLA? No, and UCLA beat Kansas State in the bowl game. Stanford lost to ASU, who was plungered by UCLA. Than Stanford plungered UCLA. Comparing scores is futile.

    We've had enough SEC arguments here and I know nobody will change their mind, but Arkansas went 2-6 in conference. They beat an LSU team that had a worse QB than Miley and Ole Miss. I don't even think UCLA was all that good, but you might be retarded if you think Arkansas had a better season. By the same SRS metric, Arkansas was better last season than a 12-1 FSU team.

    I don't even know what SRS means. As you suspected I was just continuing the theme here

    So I guess no lower ranked team has ever beaten a higher ranked team?

    '17-'18 is about right. We're way worse off than USC and they had the death penalty. Patience, UW b in new-years- 6 in 2017-18. And because of Peter, they'll stay there year in year out
