Tim May writes about the Ohio State-Arkansas matchup for the Columbus Dispatch:
Will this be the year the Buckeyes get the SEC bowl burden off their backs? They are 0-9 in bowls against opponents from that league, including back-to-back losses to Florida and Louisiana State in the national-title games following the 2006 and '07 seasons, respectively.
This will be their first-ever game against Arkansas, who along with Mississippi and Mississippi State are the only SEC members the Buckeyes have never played in either the regular season or in a bowl.
