I'm not sure if Arkansas can get in. Its like we were in 2004, if you start too low, it takes too long to get up. That being said, I think they're playing the best football of any one loss team. Back before Auburn played the worst game in their history saturday, there was the debate over who deserved to be first, Ark or AU. I thought that Arkansas was probably a better team than we were, but I could justify them being behind us simply because AU had wins over UF and LSU. So for the same reasons I can buy into the argument that Arky will get the credit when they beat LSU and UF. If they do that, however, I think it would be ridiculous for them to be denied. At that point, the would have beaten Tenn, LSU, UF and Auburn (and despite Auburn/Tenn looking rather pedistrian, a win over a 10-2 or 9-3 team is still a quality win), and I think that would be the most accomplished one loss record. Now, I don't know if they can do it with the system we have, but I think they deserve it if they can get through. The Ark team that played USC is obviously a completely different team now. I think they're heads above the mediocre play of the other one loss teams, but, my question is whether Nutt is really good enough to get the team to 12-1.
