National championships
edit
Arkansas has been named national championship twice by NCAA-designated major selectors.[54][248]: 113–114 Arkansas claims the 1964 championship but does not claim the co-national championship the program was awarded in 1977 by the Rothman (FACT) poll after the Razorbacks finished the season with an 11–1 record and defeated #2 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, 31–6.[247]: 156
- In 1965, the Razorbacks finished the season as the only major team with an undefeated and untied record (11–0) after No. 1 Alabama-lost to Texas in the Orange Bowl (and after Arkansas previously defeated Texas in Austin, TX that season). However, the APand Coaches Polls became final before the bowl games were played, leaving one-loss Alabama as the AP and UPI national champion. TheFootBall Writers Association of America (FWAA) and Helms Athletic Foundation (Helms) conducted their final polling after the bowl games and selected Arkansas as the national champion.[249][250][251]
