Needing a win to claim a fourth consecutive division championship, Arkansas suffered its worst loss of 2022 on the final day of the regular season.
The fifth-ranked Razorbacks, who are likely to tumble in the polls, lost 18-5 at Alabama. The Crimson Tide won the series with two consecutive victories after Arkansas won the series opener Thursday.
Arkansas (38-16, 18-12 SEC) could still split the SEC West title with Texas A&M, but that did not appear likely at the time the Razorbacks’ series ended at Alabama. The Aggies, who entered the day tied atop the division, had a 9-5 lead at Ole Miss late in the game.
