Arkansas had legitimately the most difficult conference schedule of any team in college football this year.  They played Alabama, Auburn, Miss St, Ole Miss, LSU, Georgia, Mizzou, and Texas A&M.  Sure some of those teams are inconsistent or have spotty QB play at times but they are all super talented and all of those teams will play in bowl games.  There isnt one gimme in that schedule.  I bet there isnt one team in the country that would go undefeated against that.  Not one.  In fact, I'm not sure anybody could go through that without losing at least two games.  Its just an unfortunately bad luck of the draw for the Hogs.

 

Who had something harder?  Colorado may have an argument... but then again they played Cal and Oregon St.  UCLA's was tough but they had Cal and Colorado on the schedule.  There just isnt anybody with a more difficult conference schedule.
