CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm says Arkansas is bound for Liberty Bowl

Arkansas would likely draw a large crowd to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl.

With the regular season concluded, most teams in FBS are waiting to find out their bowl destinations. The results of conference championhip games could alter some things, though.

Arkansas has little to worry about as far as that goes. The Razorbacks are far enough down in the SEC pecking order, their destination likely doesn’t change whether Georgia beats LSU on Saturday in the conference title game or vice versa.

CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm has penciled in a familiar destination for the Razorbacks. He thinks Arkansas will play in the Liberty Bowl against Baylor.

Arkansas beat Kansas State in the 2016 Liberty Bowl and beat East Carolina in 2010’s version. The game isn’t a bad destination for Hogs faithful as it’s right down Interstate 40 in Memphis.

Baylor, like Arkansas, finished the year 6-6. The Bears lost their final three games of the season to Kansas State, Texas Christian and Texas. All three of those teams are in the Top 25.

Bowl teams and participants could leak throughout the week, but most will be properly announced December 4 following all the conference championship games.
