### Kirk Herbstreit Backs Underdog Arkansas in SEC Showdown Against Ole Miss

As Week 10 of the college football season kicks into high gear, the "College Gameday" crew delivered their insights and predictions on some heavyweight clashes. One of the more intriguing picks came from ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who opted to support an underdog in the SEC. Despite the odds, Herbstreit believes that Arkansas, an 8-point underdog as per ESPN BET, will secure a victory over No. 19 Ole Miss.

Herbstreit's confidence in the Razorbacks stems from a bit of historical context. "The last time Ole Miss went to Fayetteville and won, Houston Nutt was the head coach at Ole Miss, and Bobby Petrino was heading Arkansas. I'm going with that streak to continue; Arkansas at home," Herbstreit stated. This historical perspective tipped the scales in favor of Arkansas for Herbstreit, who also pointed out current roles within the Razorbacks' coaching staff. Petrino, who held the head coach position from 2008 to 2011, has returned to Arkansas as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Herbstreit's choice was not an isolated one; he was joined by Lee Corso and Nick Saban in predicting an upset by the Razorbacks over the Rebels. The consensus among these analysts suggests that despite being unranked, Arkansas has a viable shot at toppling a ranked opponent in Ole Miss.

This bold prediction sets the stage for an exciting clash, with Arkansas looking to leverage historical momentum and home-field advantage. Fans and analysts alike will be eagerly watching to see if Herbstreit's faith in the Razorbacks will be rewarded.
