It’s conference championship week, meaning a majority of the college football world is off and eagerly waiting on a confirmed destination for their postseason travels.
Arkansas football fits that description. The Razorbacks are coming off a loss to Missouri in the regular season finale, but they will play one more game before putting a bow on the 2024 campaign. The opponent and venue are still to be determined.
Here’s everything you need to know with Selection Sunday on the horizon.
Will Arkansas make a bowl game?
Yes, the Hogs secured bowl eligibility with a 35-14 victory over Louisiana Tech in Week 13 of the college football season. Arkansas finished the season with a 6-6 overall record, which is the minimum requirement to secure a spot in the postseason.

The biggest boost to Arkansas’ postseason hopes was a win over Tennessee in October. The 19-14 victory forced bowl prognosticators to universally plug the Hogs in their latest projections, but they also earned key road SEC victories over Auburn and Mississippi State.
Arkansas bowl game projections
The latest predictions from national media members believe there are two favorites when it comes to bowl destinations for the Hogs.
Two writers for ESPN and CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm all believe Arkansas will play in the Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 27. They all disagree on the opponent, though, with potential matchups featuring Memphis, North Carolina and West Virginia.
