FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Sam Pittman has become used to the yearly ‘Arkansas plays the toughest schedule in the country’ story. That’s been the same case for the Razorbacks' past three head coaches Bret Bielema and Chad Morris.
Arkansas has played 53 games against ranked opponents in the past 10 years. That’s an average of over five ranked opponents played each season. These games are not only against teams ranked 20-25, the Razorbacks have played ten games against No. 1 or No. 2 ranked opponents. The only other team in the SEC with a legit gripe about a schedule is Auburn who have played in 49 such games.It’s not like Arkansas does it to themselves either.
As members of the SEC it’s expected to play a tough schedule, but it seems more often than not Arkansas is rewarded the short end of the stick. Rival Missouri, for instance, is tied with Kentucky for the least amount of games versus ranked opponents. Of course, the Tigers have played in the much weaker Eastern Division since joining the conference in 2012.
