Where to watch Texas A&M vs Arkansas today: Time, TV channel to watch Week 8 game
College Football Playoff remains unclear and chaotic midseason
With a very unclear CFP field midway through the 2025 season, Before The Snap argues why this might be the best playoff race yet.
Texas A&M has been one of the best teams in college football about halfway through the 2025 regular season, with a 6-0 record and a No. 4 ranking in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
This weekend, it will look to further enhance that resume.

Coming off a 17-point home win against Florida last Saturday, Mike Elko and the Aggies will hit the road to take on Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 18 at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Texas A&M’s 6-0 start matches the program’s best record through six games since 2016 and is highlighted by a Week 3 win at Notre Dame. The Aggies have scored at least 30 points in five of their six games this season, with quarterback Marcel Reed accounting for 1,676 total yards and 15 touchdowns. Defensively, they’ve been stout in recent weeks, allowing only 12 points per game in their past three victories.
This week, they’ll get a different kind of challenge in an Arkansas team that put up a strong fight in a 34-31 loss last Saturday at No. 11 Tennessee, its first game under interim head coach (and, famously, former Razorbacks head coach) Bobby Petrino. For all of his team’s larger struggles, Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has been electric this season, with 2,158 total yards and 17 touchdowns.
Here’s how to watch Texas A&M’s game against Arkansas, including time, TV schedule, live streaming info and game odds:

For all of Petrino’s numerous faults, the man’s still a heck of a play-caller. But the Razorbacks’ defense is simply too porous to do much of anything to neutralize Reed and a much more balanced Texas A&M team. The Aggies shouldn’t have too much trouble in this one, even on the road.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Freshman Darius Acuff Jr. scored a career-high 29 points, including a key 3-pointer with just over two minutes left in the second half, to help No. 18 Arkansas to an 86-75 win over No. 19 Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams on Saturday.
Arkansas (11-3) used a 18-5 run over a 6-minute, 37-second span midway through the second half to turn a five-point deficit into an eight-point lead with 5:40 left. Tennessee shot just 2 for 10 from the field during Arkansas’ run, missing eight shots in a row before finally scoring.
The Volunteers (10-4) took advantage of an Arkansas cold shooting spell — the Razorbacks picked up 12 of their 18 points during the run from the free-throw line — to close within two points with under four minutes to play. Acuff made a 3-pointer from the wing with 2:09 remaining to give the Razorbacks a 79-68 lead.
Tennessee shot 49% from the field and was outscored at the line, going 12 for 23 while Arkansas shot 29 for 33.
Acuff was the only Arkansas player to shoot better than 50% from the floor, going 9 for 16. The Razorbacks shot 42% overall. Acuff was joined in double-digit scoring by Meleek Thomas, who scored 18 points. Malique Ewin added 12 points and Karter Knox 11.
Amari Evans’ 17 points on 7-for-7 shooting led three Tennessee players in double figures.
Arkansas won its opening SEC game for the first time since the 2020-21 season. The Razorbacks have reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in four of the five seasons since and made two Elite Eight appearances.
