Arkansas football vs Big Ten

The Big Ten has existed and been a power in college football for over one hundred years. However, the Razorbacks are just 3-8 against the current teams in the league and have never played five of them.

We won’t waste too much time: the teams are Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, and Purdue. It’s a bit strange that they’ve never played all of these teams, either on the schedule back in the day or in a bowl game, but programs like Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue haven’t exactly had historically successful programs.

With the expanded college football playoffs, and Arkansas seemingly on the rise in the SEC, there’s a good chance we see the Razorbacks play one or more of these teams in the near future.
