FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — After another loss to the Missouri Tigers on Saturday, the Razorbacks now turn to the postseason.
Arkansas enters its bowl game at 6-6 for the second time in the last three seasons. In 2022, the Razorbacks went to the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, defeating the Kansas Jayhawks 55-53 in three overtimes.
With one week until the 12-team College Football Playoff field and the bowl game matchups are announced, here’s where Arkansas is projected:
Athlon Sports: Birmingham Bowl vs. North Carolina State
CBS Sports: Liberty Bowl vs. West Virginia
24/7 Sports: Texas Bowl vs. Texas Tech
ESPN’s Mark Schlabach: Birmingham Bowl vs. North Carolina
ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura: Birmingham Bowl vs. Memphis
Sporting News: Gasparilla Bowl vs. UConn

In the majority of the projections, Arkansas would play a team for the first time ever if it drew NC State, West Virginia or UConn.
Other projected bowls would see Arkansas face off against teams it hasn’t played in more than two decades. The Razorbacks have not played North Carolina since the 1995 Carquest Bowl and Memphis since 1998.
The Hogs projected matchup with Texas Tech would be the first meeting between the two since 2015.
