No. 19 Arkansas hosts No. 23 Cincinnati in marquee opener

By The Associated Press

The implications of this game loom large for both teams. A marquee road victory over a ranked SEC opponent would make an opening statement for Cincinnati. The Razorbacks, who play what many consider to be the toughest schedule in the country, would send a signal to the nation that their 2021 season was no fluke with a win. A loss for either team will likely result in dropping out of national rankings.
