FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas won’t have any more games its favored to win except for one and fans now know when that game will take place.

The Razorbacks (2-5, 0-3 SEC) will host Mississippi State (4-3, 0-3 SEC) in a game that will kickoff at 3 p.m. on SEC Network Nov. 1.

The Bulldogs are currently on a three-game losing streak and could easily come to Fayetteville on a four-game losing streak with a game against No. 22 Texas this weekend.

The showdown between Arkansas and Mississippi State is a must-win game for both teams if they want to go bowling in December.

The Razorbacks have the harder path to get to six wins than Mississippi State and can afford just one loss to remain in the hunt for a bowl game.

The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are only two wins away from becoming bowl eligible and Arkansas is the only unranked opponent left on their schedule.

So, the game that’ll take place at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in less than two weeks may not rival a game like Georgia vs. Alabama, but both will have a lot to play for.

Both sides will also need to record upsets in the final five games of the season to reach six wins.
