I was very happy with Arkansas’ schedule versus other SEC schools. The obvious advantage is that Arkansas has Alabama and LSU coming to Fayetteville to play while Alabama has to go to both LSU and Arkansas.
The disadvantage that teams in the west have is simple. They may be a top 5 team in the nation (like Arkansas was last year) and still lose two games during the year.
However, it is my view that the teams in the SEC East have a chance to go through the year with only one lost. The Vols have both Alabama and Florida at home and they avoided playing Arkansas in 2012 when the new SEC Schedule was drawn up.
