How to Watch Alabama Crimson Tide at Arkansas Razorbacks, TV, Times, SEC Schedule

We're playing this game, right?
With the regular season extended into mid-December due to the coronavirus, Alabama at Arkansas was initially scheduled for last week, but was bumped back a week to squeeze in the LSU game last week.
The Crimson Tide has already wrapped up the SEC West and its spot in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta next week. No. 1 Alabama is also looking to pad its resume for the College Football Playoff, after missing the field of four teams for the first time in 2019.
The Razorbacks have had quite an up-and-down season under first-year head coach Sam Pittman. Overall, Arkansas currently holds a 3-6 record, with its three wins being over Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
While on paper the Razorbacks do not present a significant threat, Arkansas has proven themselves to be a team that can pull some surprises. In its six losses, three of them were decided by three points or less. The Razorbacks have the ability to keep games unexpectedly close with teams in the SEC this season, but that is most likely not going to happen this coming Saturday.
However, in a season that has shown many surprises, overlooking the Razorbacks would be a big mistake.
