FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas is one of four SEC teams being considered for the TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., the bowl announced Wednesday.
The bowl is scheduled for a 10 a.m. kickoff on Dec. 31 at EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
TaxSlayer Bowl officials said they are considering Florida, Kentucky and Auburn from the SEC, along with Arkansas.
But Kentucky, which upset Louisville last Saturday to finish 7-5, could have the inside track, especially if No. 1 Alabama defeats Florida in the SEC Championship game. The Crimson Tide are 24-point favorites.
"That scenario, if that would take place, Kentucky is the major contender for our bowl game," TaxSlayer Bowl president Rick Catlett told SEC Country on Wednesday.
