Summary

Bobby Petrino is back at Arkansas as interim coach, but Bruce says he’s not winning any popularity contests. Despite the baggage, Arkansas ranks second in the SEC in yards per play. Can Petrino navigate a brutal seven-game schedule, featuring five ranked opponents, to save his reputation — or even earn the permanent job?

Ralph defends his AP ballot which has Penn State nine spots lower than the actual poll, sparking a heated debate with Bruce about Texas versus the Nittany Lions. Plus, the crew discusses Paul Finebaum's potential move into politics, and picks the week’s biggest matchups.
