Arkansas vs Texas College Football Picks Week 5: The Razorbacks (2-1) off a loss last week to Alabama, 49-14.  QB's Casey Dick and Tyler Wilson combined to throw 4 INT's in the game.  They had to rally for wins over Western Illinois and Louisiana-Monroe and couldn't avoid big mistakes in its first SEC game.  They are seriously hurt when it comes to competing for a national championship being in the SEC facing three to four Top 10 teams each year, and if surviving that, the SEC championship game.  The oddsmakers at Sbgglobal.com currently have Texas -28 favorites to Arkansas heading into this matchup.

The Longhorns (3-0) got an easy win over Rice last week, 52-10.

Shipley caught five passes for 155 yards with two big highlight scores of 30 and 60 yards in the second quarter.  QB Colt McCoy was 19/23 for 329 yards and 4 TD's.  Look for Colt to have another 300 yard passing day with 3 passing TD's and one rushing TD. I am really interested in seeing if C. Johnson can keep up his good run game and how our secondary will stand up to an actual BCS team.  Arkansas is probably the worst team in the SEC, ( it's a toss up between them and Miss State for now).  Texas should win this game handily.  The OVER/UNDER in this Arkansas vs Texas College Football Picks Week 5 is set a combined total of 59 points.

College Football Picks Week 5: The Razorbacks hope to put up a better fight this week, and cutting down on mental errors should help.  Texas will beat Arkansas.  Texas struggles will come from the fact that the Big 12 has so many top 20 teams this year.  Not to mention, they can't look past A&M as they have beaten them two years in a row.  Another close game with Oklahoma would be awesome, with Texas findng a way to pull it off this year.  The line is real high through here, if you go back to 03' Razorbacks did win by 10 points, and the last time these teams met was in 04', Texas won 22-20.  So they always have been close games.
