Welcome to the SEC, Ryan Silverfield!
Formerly at Memphis, the first-year Arkansas coach is staring down a terribly difficult slate in 2026. Within the opening half, the Razorbacks play at Utah, host Georgia, travel to Texas A&M and have Tennessee come to town.
Over those six games, Arkansas will face four likely preseason-ranked teams.
As if that’s not enough, Missouri—a borderline Top 25 opponent—awaits in the second half, along with a trip to Auburn and a demanding finish at Texas and home to LSU.
Throw in the possibility of a bounce-back season from South Carolina, led by high-upside QB LaNorris Sellers, and the Hogs may have a near-relentless season.
