Arkansas

[N.AL-Tider]

What happened to the Arkansas game?  I had heard it would be played on December 12 between the LSU and SECC games.  Now I'm not seeing where we will play them at all.  Anyone know why?  I actually wish we were playing them after the LSU game.  That would have put us playing the same week as UF/LSU just one week before the SECCG.  Seems fair.  Now if we are off while UF has to play... Seems to give us an added advantage.

As far as I know, they will play on December 12, have heard nothing different.

Looking for the schedule maybe I can find it. RTR!

MD -- I can't find an 'official' announcement of this anywhere, but maybe I missed it.  ESPN does not have it on their Dec 12 schedule of games.  SEC has to say something in the next 2 - 3 days I would think.

I think the SEC is still trying to decide if they want to play the games that "don't matter"...Bama and Florida are locked for the SECCG now, I think.   They're holding out, probably expecting COVID spikes after Thanksgiving.

Saban may not want to play Arkansas, then the very next week play Florida in SECG on December 19.

I wondered about that.  Arkansas would definitely be a tougher opponent for US than LSU will be for UF so if we can avoid getting beat up a week before the SECCG then I'm ok with that. Course, I also think it is meaningless for UF and LSU to play...

Alabama is not a "lock" for the SECCG game yet. If we lose to LSU and A&M beats Auburn the Arkansas game will matter. We would have to lose both games not to make the SECCG since we hold the head-to-head tie breaker over A&M.

It is technically not a lock but I bet A&M does not like their chances.

Good point, pmull.   If (when) we beat the coonasses, do you think the Arkansas game will be cancelled?

I would love to see the Arkansas game canceled if we beat lsu. 2 weeks to heal would be a great blessing. The 2 week layoff before didn't hurt at all. RTR!

If Bama beats LSU - and I think that's gonna happen big time - Bama wins the West. I think it is best for Bama and the conference to let Bama and UF out of the Dec 12 games before the SEC Championship. I would say that regardless of the teams involved.

I expect us to play Arkansas. The LSU/UF game is on. I do not think they make UF play a meaning less game on 12/12 and let us be off.

I think the SEC office will either make both Bama and UF play on 12/12 or both be off. I do not think they will (or should) give one team an off week advantage over the other.

The SEC has spoken.  Bama-Arky resked to Dec 12th.
