FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas women’s soccer team has the easiest path to capturing the SEC regular season championship for the 2025 season.

All the Razorbacks have to do is win Sunday’s game against Oklahoma and they’ll secure the regular season championship and No. 1 overall seed in the SEC Tournament in Pensacola, Fla.

Arkansas could still secure both of those accomplishments with a loss or tie, but they’d need help to do so.

A loss would give at least four SEC teams a chance to secure the regular season championship and No. 1 overall seed.

If the Razorbacks tie Oklahoma:

With 21 points, Arkansas would need Vanderbilt to not win and a loss by Georgia.

If the Razorbacks lose Oklahoma:

If Vanderbilt ties, the Commodores and Hogs would each have 20 points and the Razorbacks won the head-to-head matchup earlier this season. If Tennessee wins its regular season finale against Alabama, this scenario gets a lot more complicated.

The Razorbacks still find themselves in a position nearly every coach would sign up for. Win just one more game and, worse case scenario, you get a trophy.

But Arkansas has its sights on a much loftier goal that’ll be earned at the College Cup in December.
