FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Typically, since Arkansas vs. LSU is always such a close game, it's must-watch TV. Factor in that the game has College Football Playoff implications eight weeks into the season and it should be top of the list during many weeks of the season.

However, because of SEC expansion kicking in this year, two other games cast a rather large shadow over the Razorbacks and Tigers. Alabama and Tennessee lock up in a rivalry grudge match and Georgia and Texas battle to see which should be considered top of the food chain in the conference.
