Waiting on college football season to start can be agonizing. To pass the time we’ve been thumbing through a collection of national preseason magazines.

We’ll be looking at a different magazine each day the rest of the week, checking out how they break down the season. It’s not quite as exciting as kickoff or those first two-a-days (or even media days), but it’s the best we’ve got for now.

Here’s what Lindy's has to say about the…

ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS
PROJECTED CONFERENCE FINISH:          No. 3 Overall, No. 3 SEC West
NATIONAL RANK:                                      No. 10
2011 CONF. RECRUITING RANK:              No. 9
ALL-CONFERENCE PICKS: WR Greg Childs (first-team); DL Jake Bequette (first); QB Tyler Wilson (second); RB Knile Davis (second); WR Joe Adams (second); C Travis Swanson (second); OG Alvin Bailey (second).
NOTABLE: RB Knile Davis is listed a second-team All-American and ranked No. 4 at his position; Davis is regarded as the No. 21 pro prospect in college football; Arkansas’ wide receivers are ranked No. 2 nationally behind Oklahoma; WR Greg Childs is ranked No. 7 at his position; WR Joe Adams is No. 15; Travis Swanson is the No. 6 center; DE Jake Bequette is ranked No. 9 at his position and LB Jerry Franklin No. 10.

SPEAKING OUT
“Petrino has the skill position engine to rev another big-time offense and be top speed by the end of the season. But these Razorbacks might be just as likely to lead with defense, and it’s that combination that could drive Arkansas into a BCS bowl.
