Title: Arkansas Post by: N.AL-Tider on December 01, 2020, 12:02:05 PM 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.

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. Title: Re: Arkansas Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on December 01, 2020, 05:13:12 PM 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.
Title: Re: Arkansas Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 01, 2020, 09:35:03 PM Saban may not want to play Arkansas, then the very next week play Florida in SECG on December 19.
??? Title: Re: Arkansas Post by: N.AL-Tider on December 02, 2020, 09:03:45 AM 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...Title: Re: Arkansas Post by: pmull on December 02, 2020, 09:10:02 AM 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. 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.

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

The 2 week layoff before didn't hurt at all. RTR! Title: Re: Arkansas Post by: carl childers on December 02, 2020, 10:18:13 AM 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 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.
