No Longer A Doormat
The Bears are making an improvement. 2 straight Big 12 wins in a row this season, and 3 in a row overall!! I could get used to this. We are definitely better than the 3-3 record we have at the moment.
Realistically, we probably won't stretch that Big 12 winning streak this week against Texas, but anything can happen. I am just excited about the fact that we are tied for 1st place with Texas in the Big 12 South standings @ 2-0.
Despite the losses in those close non-conference match-ups we have a shot a being Bowl Eligible. We have 3 must wins (Kansas, A&M and Okla State). A win against Tech would be great and a possibility. Though I always hold out hope, I am not counting on wins against Texas and OU.
On other college FB notes. What has gotten into Arkansas! That win against Bama and now the knock off of Auburn. I think that puts them in the drivers seat for the SEC West. The toughest SEC opponent that have left is Tennessee. At this point, a Florida/Arkansas SEC Champtionship looks very likely.
Louisville is getting excited about football. All eyes are on Nov 2, when West Virginia comes to town, in what should be the #1-2 Big East Teams. Louisville is looking to avenge last years loss as well. So that should be a Big Game!

Question. Northwestern State is I-AA. Does that mean that win doesn't count towards the 6 needed to be bowl eligible? If so, we're going to have to knock off all four of KU, A&M, OSU, and Tech to make a bowl game. Makes Army and Washington State hurt even more...
Still, it's nice being a bowl contender again!
Nah, Arkansas' toughest game left will probably be the LSU game.

You can count a win against one Division I-AA school in a given year. They just changed that from once every four years...Either way we're OK.
We could be left out in the event that the Big 12 has enough teams that are 7-5 or better. Since the bylaws say a team must have six wins and more wins than losses. They passed a 6-6 exception this year for conferences that have Bowl obligations.
LSU will be a dog fight for sure. Are they tougher than TN, it could go either way.
