4. Arkansas vs. Auburn

The Arkansas Razorbacks pulled off a big win against Ole Miss last week. A late touchdown from Jared Cornelius would be all that the Razorbacks would need to pick up their fifth win of the season. With the win, the Razorbacks have positioned themselves well in the SEC West.

The goal for Arkansas now is to be playing in a New Year’s Six bowl and defeating Auburn on Saturday would be a start. The Tigers have gone from a team that was expected to put their coach on the hot seat, to a team that has successfully put themselves in contention for a nice bowl game as well.

Their only two losses on the year are to Clemson and Texas A&M, both of whom are still in playoff contention. If Auburn really wants to make a statement, then defeating Arkansas would also be a start for them.

These are two good teams and they both know that a win would set themselves up well going forward the rest of the way. Auburn has been really good at home, but the status of running back Kerryon Johnson is up in the air and that is something to keep an eye on.
