Which Arkansas Razorbacks team shows up to play each week? Is it the one that lost 56-3 to the Auburn Tigers and 38-10 to the LSU Tigers? Or is it the one that dominated the Florida Gators? Or is there just that much of a difference between the SEC West and SEC East?

This is the most inconsistent team in the SEC, and as a result, they had to drop two spots in our SEC Power Rankings, even if their loss was to a tougher opponent.

The good news is that the solid parts of the team are no flukes. Austin Allen remains a playmaker at quarterback who can move the ball. The offensive line is massive. Raleigh Williams III truly is a good running back and showed on Saturday that he is also great at pass-catching and making plays in open space.

And the defense for the most part is physical and solid, even if it has breakdowns in stopping the run every other week.

With all of that, Bret Bielema still has the Razorbacks in much better shape than he has had them in the past few years.

But due to how loaded the SEC West is, he could still have time improving on last year. The good thing is that he should, even if it’s not a given. After all, their final two games are against the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Missouri Tigers.

The problem is that both are on the road, so without being careful, this team could slip up.
