"To be the best, you have to beat the best."
That's how the saying goes. It's one thing to utter those words, but it's another even to have the chance. At SEC Media, Sam Pittman leaned into Arkansas' schedule, calling it a "Hell of an opportunity." Ranked with a consensus top-five hardest strength of schedule, the Razorbacks will play six teams that finished in the final top 25. Three were in the college football playoffs, and one played for the national championship.
The nonconference schedule is perhaps one of the more difficult in the SEC.
