COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri and Arkansas will end the 2024 regular season in the usual way: With a post-Thanksgiving game flipping sides of the Ozarks and Battle Line border between the states.
No. 24 Mizzou, ranked 21st in the latest College Football Playoff hierarchy, gets hosting duties this year.
And the Razorbacks unit that the Tigers (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) has a number of differences from what MU has seen in past finales.
Arkansas (6-5, 3-4) falls solidly in the down-but-dangerous tier of SEC teams. The Hogs are by no means CFP contenders, but they can beat a better-on-paper team on any given Saturday — just ask Tennessee, which fell in Fayetteville earlier in the season.
