Alabama and Arkansas meet at Rhoads Stadium this weekend for a top-10 SEC showdown. Both teams are off to hot starts. The Crimson Tide is 24-0 on the season, and the Razorbacks have only lost twice with a 22-2 overall record.

"It's just a great opportunity for all of us here to play a really good team in Arkansas," Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy said. "They've had a really good run for the past seven to 10 years, have been knocking on the doorsteps of a World Series berth and just haven't gotten it done, but there's as close as anybody in the country. It's gonna be a fun series. They're going to fight like hell, and so are we. Hopefully we'll have good weather and good crowds."

Despite it being a top-10 matchup, all three games will be streaming only on SEC Network+, starting with Friday's game at 6 p.m.
