Arkansas non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Analysis: The Razorbacks' schedule is like Alabamas, just a couple notches down. They've only played four games on their opponent's home field, and have played ten games at neutral-site Little Rock. Their usual schedule consists of two or three below average non-BCS teams, maybe a I-AA team, and maybe a good BCS team.

Fact: Arkansas is on the list of "Teams who have played more I-AA than BCS teams" - 5 to 4. At least the BCS teams they played (USC & Texas) were stellar.

Fact: Even without their five I-AA opponents added in, Arkansas' non-BCS foes averaged 3.5 wins per season.

2008 Outlook: They've got Texas again, which is good to see, and it's a road game to boot. The others are easy - Tulsa, LA-Monroe, and I-AA Western Illinois. The game with Texas makes it average for the year.
