Blame Ole Miss if you must figure out somebody to be upset at about changing the game time for Arkansas' game with Mississippi State on Wednesday.

Previously scheduled for 8 p.m., postponing the Florida game at Ole Miss opened up a television time slot on the SEC Network and now the game is moved.

It is the first game of the SEC schedule for both teams.
