CINCINNATI — UC football got the "College GameDay" treatment last season, and they open this season with another prominent pregame show descending on their location.

"SEC Now" host Laura Rutledge confirmed the SEC Network pregame show—"SEC Nation"—is kicking off its season with the Bearcats V. Arkansas matchup in an interview with Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman.

"College GameDay" came to Clifton on Nov. 6, 2021, before UC's 28-20 home win over Tulsa. Now they get right back into the fire for a matchup with Arkansas—a team many expect to rank in the preseason AP Top 25.

Cincinnati did not lose a regular season game in 2021 or 2020 and will look very different as it tries to keep that streak alive. Voices like Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers, and Tim Tebow manned the "SEC Nation" desk last season and should be on hand to debate UC's chances against Arkansas. Cincinnati has not faced an SEC team in the regular season since battling Tennessee in 2011.

The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 3. Fans can watch all of the action on ESPN.
