The sexiest bowl games are off the board, no question.
But, be real. Was Arkansas ever really – we mean, really – headed to the College Football Playoff? No. Was a Big Four consolation prize possible? Sure, barely.
Arkansas was always playing for a bowl similar to the one they received last year, barring a miracle of epic proportions. Such a bowl can still come, too, though it would take a heck of a run in the second-half of the schedule. A 5-1 kind of run, even.
As for now, the Razorbacks’ predicted bowl spot isn’t still half-bad. Definitely not as bad as the crew who want to fire Kendal Briles and Barry Odom would like you to think it is.
That’s 5-0 TCU, by the way. That’s one of the best programs in the country, year-in, year-out, TCU, by the way.
On what planet is that a bad bowl?
So, buck up, Hogs fans. This thing isn’t over yet.
