FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — How good or bad a team is in 2019 doesn’t necessarily equate to what they will be like in the future, but it appears Arkansas’ non-conference schedule in football has added some quality opponents.
The AP Top 25 Poll was released today and several ranked teams are on future football schedules at Arkansas. That’s in addition to the six ranked SEC teams and another one getting some votes.
The list of future teams on Arkansas’ non-conference schedule ranked this week are Notre Dame (8), Texas (9) and Utah (13). In addition, those receiving votes are Cincinnati, Oklahoma State and Memphis. If the poll was expanded to all receiving votes Cincinnati would have been No. 29, Oklahoma State 32 and Memphis 33.
