Its not surprising that Arkansas is pumped to play a Big 12 team in a bowl when the SEC is the lowest power 5 RPI conference
This from espn.com:
AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Kansas State vs. Arkansas
Jan. 2 (ESPN, 3:20 p.m.)
Why to watch: It's one of the more interesting coaching matchups of the postseason: gentlemanly LHC Bill Snyder versus brash Bret Bielema.
Who to watch: Arkansas junior Hunter Henry won the John Mackey Award as the country's top tight end. He had 46 catches for 647 yards with three touchdowns and is a nightmare matchup for defenses.
Motivation for Kansas State: The Wildcats beat West Virginia 24-23 to finish 6-6 and become bowl eligible. They'd like to avoid their first losing season since going 5-7 in 2008. They've lost six of their last seven bowl games, too.
Motivation for Arkansas: After routing Texas 31-7 in the Texas Bowl last season, the Hogs can win three bowl games in a row for the first time in school history.
Prediction: Arkansas 31, Kansas State 28
Seriously? You guys have lost 6 of your last 7 bowls? And isn't that all the bowls you have ever played in? I'd be ashamed...
