Sam Pittman’s Bold SEC Prediction: Why Arkansas Could Shock the Entire Conference This Season
The Razorbacks are returning key pieces on both sides of the ball. Their offense last season ranked in the Top 10 nationally in yards per game under offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, and the defense, led by Travis Williams, improved to 37th in third-down stops. Close losses—three by just one possession—could swing their way with more experience.
That’s why the Razorbacks coach views this SEC gauntlet as more of a proving ground than a problem. With the College Football Playoff having expanded to 12 teams, Pittman believes the Razorbacks could surprise people if they finish strong.
A strong start against Alabama A&M and Arkansas State could build momentum, but the real test begins on September 13th at Ole Miss, followed by Notre Dame, Tennessee, and a brutal October stretch.
Still, the SEC remains as deep and competitive as ever. Pittman’s bold confidence speaks to a stronger belief in Arkansas’s identity and upward trajectory.
If the Razorbacks can stay healthy and flip a few of those one-score games, a legitimate push for eight or more wins, and maybe a College Football Playoff spot, might not be out of reach. Either way, Pittman’s message is clear, this isn’t the Arkansas of old.
