2015 Football Schedule

[popcornhog]

The minimum for me is eight wins.  Anything less than that will be disappointing.

I'd be disappointed with 7 too, but not so much so to turn in CBB.

Six would be another story.

Once we see whether Philon is returning, what happens with the staff, and how the offseason shakes out around the SEC we'll have a better idea, but if I had to pick now, I'd go with 9-3.

[Wildhog]

I hope for at least 8, but it is the SEC, and nothing is guaranteed.  If we aren't continually improving, we are falling behind.

No reason we shouldn't be able to get 8 next year.  Four OOC games.  Mizzou, MSU, and AU at home (would expect to win two of these).  And then two more out of Bama, LSU, Tenner, OM, and TAMU.

I'm not saying I'd turn on CBB.  I'm just saying less than 8 would be disappointing and discouraging.

[popcornhog]

I'm not saying I'd turn on CBB.  I'm just saying less than 8 would be disappointing and discouraging.

Semantics I guess. I think our position is essentially the same.

For me, seven would represent improvement but less than I think I'm realistically hoping for.

8-10 would make me very happy as we continue to build.

[Vantage 8 dude]

I dunno.  We play them both on the road IIRC.  They'll be tough games.  Both of their seasons may depend on how they fill their QB positions.

While I certainly understand the advantage of playing any good team at home, the way we've played LSU the past 8-10 years it really hasn't mattered all that much if we play them in BR or in Fayetteville. It still comes down to the big question of do the Tigers still have problems at the qb position.

[TommyTwoHog]

Why are so many afraid of Tenner?  They are like Notre Dame.  A bunch of hype only to lose games.  They were the hottest team in the SEC with Dobbs starting at QB when little ole' Mizzou went into Knoxville this year and beat them. 

Arkansas will have no problems with Tenner.  Over rated.

This is the same talk we heard about UGA all year. Then they broke it off in em!

[cbhawg03]

10-2

High 11-1

Low 8-4

[GolfnHog]

Those that watch coaching moves can you answer this? I've heard rumblings that Mike Stoops is being looked at as DC at LSU. If that's the case and comes to fruition, I like our chances against LSU and would be optimistic for a 9-3 season.

[elksnort]

I picked 9 wins.

The losses are @Bama, @LSU, and @ Tennessee.
I think we win at Oxford. Who will be Ole Miss's QB next year?

Like Wildhog posted, 8-4 is my basement. Anything lower will be disappointing.

[MissippHog]

10-2 with losses at TN and AL

That's what I'm thinking, but I can see us going 11-1 or 8-4 too. 

[choppedporkextrasauce]

Bama's is filled

[jimmiewkersh]

9 -3 (first Choice)or 10 - 2 (Second Choice)

[redeye]

I like that Alabama's losing 7 starters on offense and we get them early.

[Theolesnort]

We are entering a new era in Arkansas football where our projected win loss total should reflect on who we are and how good we are instead of who we play and how good they project to be. A different way of looking at things will come to pass but some still don't get it. I am not saying we are there just yet but we are getting close.

[Hogfaniam]

So far, Polling data says 8-9 wins  are expected. Definately 7.

[intoxhog]

10-2 or 9-3

I think LSU and Mississippi schools are down this year, easy non conference and we have Auburn at home. Plus Tenn is improving but they still look like a soft team to me, that could change. A&M is wild card with new DC.  plus Misery at home. i like the set up next year.

[demonHOG1013]

10-2. Losses at LSU and at Bama.  But there is not a game on the schedule that we cant win.  If we catch a few breaks next year that we did not catch this year we could be looking at playing in the SECCG.

[bigdaddyhawg]

Does anyone know what kind of losses Mizzou will have off this year's squad?

[hogcard1964]

10-2

High 11-1

Low 8-4

That's exactly what I was thinking.  There's no way we'll lose more than 4.

[GuvHog]

11-1 with the only loss @ Bama but even that game is winnable.

LSU won't be any better next season and their Defense may be worse after losing Chavis.

[popcornhog]

Tennessee has sucked for years. The Tennessee name no longer scares anyone.

That said, their staff and level of young talent should garner fear and respect next year from anyone who has been paying attention.

[Sportster365]

We beat everyone with the exception of Auburn and Alabama. With a ? next to A&M, the addition of Chavis could make the talented Aggies a real threat in years to come.

LSU will be interesting to see what they're defense will look like now that Chavis is gone. With or without the inclusion of E. Golson

[thefisher]

Going with 9-3. 

10 wins is a real possibility ... but then so is 8. 

Regardless, next year will show a lot more of the progress the Hogs have made showing up in the "W" column!

[Vantage 8 dude]

Does anyone know what kind of losses Mizzou will have off this year's squad?

In perusing the Mizzou roster it appears, baring anyone declaring early for the NFL, they have about 19 who are seniors. Evenly divided between offense and defense-9 a piece-with the remaining player the punter, Chrisitian Brinser.

I'm not all that familiar with the big names on the team, however, it appears that they'll be losing some 5 on the OL, their big name WR, Bud Sasser, and one of their stud DEs, Markus Golden.

Interesting, I would not have AU as one of the toughest games next year. If we go 10-2, I'd expect the losses to be @Tuscaloosa and @Knoxville.

I also expect LSU and A&M to be tougher games than Auburn.

I chose AU reflecting back to our season opener against them. Their back up played a really good first half of football and actually impressed me more so in that half than N. Marshall has been able to do in 2 years. Aside from that, it's Malzahn and his all-flexible offense with the inclusion of a Muschamp defense... should be interesting.

We will not take our boot heels off A & M' s necks next year.

Auburn is still going to have a roster of highly rated athletes and a great OC.

Plus they'll have a QB that may be the best thrower in the conference, assuming he gets the job.

I also expect them to have a better defense than last year, not because of Muschump but most of those guys being a year more experienced.

[Youngsta71701]

9-3.

Best case 10-2.

Worst case 8-4.

I agree 100%

[rickm1976]

We lose in close games to Bama and LSU.  We pull out close wins against Auburn, Tenn, and Ole Miss.  We cruise in the rest.  10-2 regular season, and the turnaround is in full swing.

This is the SEC, all of those games are going to be tough. This league is full of great athletes, talent, and coaches. There are no easy wins.

That's true.  Sometimes I forget that.

Back to back road games - lots of spent energy on a TAMU team that will have defense this year

it could be a trap game - Ark could jsut bury them too but I'm taking some caution because Ark has had issues with road games -  but that's just me

Projections always have to do with both the team and the opponents.

[sooeey pig pig pig]

7 regular season wins would be an improvement.  We have at least as tough if not tougher schedule than last year.

[HogFansReunited]

9-3 with our losses being at Bama, Ole Miss, and LSU.

[gawntrail]

10 wins including a solid bowl performance.

[HogFanFromTheHills]

I think we can win and might even be slightly favored, although Tenner will likely be favored by about 1.5 at home. But to mark that game down as a sure win? You must not have watched them this year. They played like 20 freshmen who improved every week and Butch has a very good class coming in.

Outside of Bama, UT will likely be our toughest game. I Wouldn't be surprised to see the Vols in Atlanta in 2015.

Boom he hit the nail on the head.... UT is young and the hogs will be going to a hostile environment with a rabid fan base, and an emerging big time qb.

I see LSU as an easier road win. Qb situation there blows, lose two sr tackles i believe. Chavis is gone and its les there by himself to Frank it up.

I picked us 9-3 would be shocked if we did better. Could easily slide to 7 with the sec though.

[Artex501]

My wwwwayyyyy to early prediction is 10-2 with losses @BAMA @LSWHO ... This could change but for now I think we can handle the VOLS after they get back from the swamp, and I think we find a way to beat GUS, and Miss St

[BENTON PIGGEE]

9-3 with our losses being at Bama, Ole Miss, and LSU.

Agreeance.

[DeltaBoy]

8-4 at worse.

[tbhogfan]

@ Alabama and @ LSU -- I don't see us having a great chance to win
The rest of the games -- Winnable, but I don't see us taking all of them, maybe 1-3 losses out of that bunch.

So, if I'm right, we would be looking at 9-3 at the top end and 7-5 at the bottom. 

I'm guessing 8-4, but hoping for better.

[HogScoutMaster]

we are going undefeated

[HotlantaHog]

I voted 9-3, wouldn't be too surprised by 8-4 and would be very happy with 10-2. Obviously winning at Alabama and LSU are the two toughest games on the schedule. I think they beat A&M in Dallas and win at Ole Miss, and could lose a close game at Tennessee.

[CattleCorn]

we are going undefeated

Yep.  This is the year we run the table.  Book it.   :razorback:

[RazorBassin]

Barring key injuries I think the ceiling is 11-1, but 9-3 is expected and I think 10-2 is a GREAT possibity.  8-4 will be a good season, but a bit of a disappointment.  I cannot wait until next fall!

[redswarmrising]

I came up with 11-1 with our only loss being at bama.


That's right,I'm not only drinking the kool-aid,I'm bathing in that sh1t!

[code red]

Arkansas will have no problems with Tenner.  Over rated.

Tennessee is legit they got better every week....Tenn made lots of mistakes vs Mizzou other wise they would have won.

[Hogfaniam]

Now that recruiting has progressed and the holes are filled on the staff, I thought a bump might be in order.

[popcornhog]

This is the SEC, all of those games are going to be tough. This league is full of great athletes, talent, and coaches. There are no easy wins.

Well, yeah. 7-5 is totally realistic next year. And we're gonna be damn good.
