John Clay's Sidelines

Can Arkansas pull off the upset today in Baton Rouge? Bobby Petrino’s Hogs meet LSU at 2:30 p.m. on CBS. An Arkansas win, coupled with an Alabama victory at Auburn on Saturday, throws the SEC West into a three-way tie and probably sends Bama to Atlanta for the SEC title game. If Alabama loses to Auburn, then an Arkansas win sends the Razorbacks to the Georgia Dome to play Georgia.
