WATCH: Clay Travis says Arkansas should be kicked out of the SEC after embarrassing North Texas loss
The Arkansas Razorbacks were blown out at home on Saturday, losing 44-17 to North Texas and throwing six interceptions in the process.
It was a horrible loss, and Outkick the Coverage’s Clay Travis thinks there should be some severe penalties for that loss.
As you can see in the video below, Travis argues that the Hogs should be kicked out of the SEC and forced to earn their way back in:

“You should not be able to stay in the SEC,” he says. “You should get relegated if you get beaten 44-17 by North Texas at home. I’m not even kidding about that. Arkansas should have to play their way back into the SEC and we should promote Arkansas State.”
Obviously, fans of the Red Wolves may be happy to hear that, but Arkansas fans probably won’t be as pleased with those comments.
Arkansas takes on Auburn this weekend, so things may get worse before they get better.
I’ve always thought it would be cool to see the last place team in each power 5 conference get replace.
Like in pro soccer, yeah? It would be cool but too much money to change things up like that. It would be cool to see teams have to earn their way back in.
Yes, I like this. Relegate the worst team in each Power 5 conference to the Group of 5 and subsequently bring the top 5 Group of 5 teams up into one of the Power 5 conferences. Group of 5 then will never whine and moan about not having a shot at the CFP.
Arkansas has proven year in and year out they can’t compete in the SEC. I don’t think Arkansas St could either.
Oh to be young and not know how Arkansas has won the SEC West twice, was #3 not that many years ago, shut out 2 ranked SEC West teams in back to back weeks just a couple of years ago, and has beaten EVERY team at one point or another. Yup, that there proves the Hogs can’t compete in the SEC.
crazymanatuca Yea, really #seewhatyoudidthere
Keep running your mouth.
Y’all are gonna see soon enough.
Clay Travis is an idiot
Finally an UGA comment I agree with.
Agreed
YES!!
OOOOOOOOOhhhh – a radio/podcaster being provocative. Quick, someone call Howard Stern and tell him!
Absolutely right.
Oh, Clay Travis has a dream that Arkansas will be jettisoned from the SEC. I too have a dream…I dream that one day i will be able to take a baseball bat to Clay Travis’ head.
I feel your pain…We went 0-12 one year heck we lost to The Cutadel a few years ago.
Guys, look–some nobody sports podcaster making an outrageous, illogical declaration and/or claim.
You don’t see that every day.
Oh wait…..
He’s a millionaire sportscaster that has a radio show and tv show. I don’t always agree with him, especially on moral or political issues but Arkansas should be embarrassed after Chad Morris went 3-0 against North Texas at SMU. With more talent, money and support there is no excuse at all to lose by 20 or more points at home.
Depends on what you mean when you say “more talent”.
If we’re talking stars, pfft; Drew Morgan was a 2-star and ended up arguably one of the best WRs the Hogs had in a while. Moral of the story? Stars only account for so much/nothing.
Also have to point out, AGAIN, the personnel needed to properly execute the scheme on either side of the ball properly will need to be recruited AND given time to be trained up. The guys that they have right now were recruited to a notably different play style. Even defense; yes, they did 4-3 under Rob Smith, but he had a conservative style. At that, Paul Rhoads moved to a 3-4 – and ALSO played it more conservative.
So, offensively and defensively, its a lot of new stuff that has to be fully installed and run by the proper “talent” required – which has to be recruited.
At this stage, its not “excuses”; its the reality.
If everyone is demanding stellar seasons, its going to take time – unless something magically clicks; not that I believe it will at all, but thats what would have to happen.
And I dunno why everybody is acting like this offensive style is just something brand new; it helped Clemson develop enough strength to take down Alabama not so long ago. But I guess we’re just gonna ignore that. Granted Clemson is a different division, mind you…but they took out the best the SEC has to offer. But it will take time; as much as that stings people and they hate to hear it, again, thats the reality. Just wait; things will be in top shape in due time.
Hey I have an idea lets let Clay coach!!! Then when his dimb ass who thinks he knows it all loses his first game then we can help back his bags and semd his ass to Texas where he belongs. POS Pundit Arm Chair WB smartass
Funny how this POS forgets Alabama losing to ULN or Auburn having thier ass handed to them a few years back by one of those FAU type teams oh and what about Tenn or hey JawJaw oh but wait dont forget LSU losing to L. Lafeyette oh and since we are on the subject how about Michigan losing to App St ……So Clay GFYS Biotch!!!!!!!
LSU didn’t lose to Louisiana Lafayette. Nice try though.
He was probably thinking that time…mmmmm….it wasn’t so long ago that LSU started the year ranked 13th and then lost to Troy…at home and fell out of the top 25. When was that? Oh yeah…2017.
That’s not what he said. Troy also finished the season ranked 26th and just beat Nebraska. When you’re a nobody, you should refrain from speaking for others. LSU also recovered from their tough loss and finished ranked. None of these teams will do that.
Clay Travis can go jump in a lake.
I too remember the “good ol days”, but the question asked is what heck happened.
I can’t speak for others but as for myself I get sick and tired of people saying “wait 3 or 4 years for the coach to get his players on the hill”, or all our problems are because of a coach that just left or the coach before that. When other teams in the SEC are going up , Vandy, Kentuck, Miss schools, Arkansas, year in and year out cannot keep from tripping on their shoe strings. As far as what Clay Travis thinks, he has his ideas just like everyone else, I have heard way, way worse than that from folks that are season ticket holders…….yes, refunds should be handed out if asked for !!
It’s the reality; it will take a few years.
Hey Clay you POS didnyou see what happened to #13 Virginia Tech ????? Well did you????? Per your logic remove them from the ACC NOW!!!!! Dumbass!!!!! Ive got a much better idea STOP PLAYING THESE DAMN TEAMS!!!!!! Power 5 need to schedule othe Power 5 teams for the majority of non-cons. I would rather have my ass handed to me by a Michigan over a nobody frikkin U where do these games help anyone but the smaller school?!?!? STOP JUST STOP!!!!!!!!
Wow. What a freakin moron! Maybe we should make this jackwagons idea retro-active, too. We can kick Ole Miss out of the SEC for losing to Jacksonville St in 2011. And Alabama for losing to ULM in 2007. Or Kentucky losing to Southern Miss in 2016. Here’s a good one…South Carolina losing to The Citadel in 2015! LSU to Troy in 2017. Miss St to South Alabama in 2016. Florida to Georgia Southern in 2013.
See how this is going, Claaaaay?! See how moronic your statement is, Claaaaay?!
I realize that this fine website is focused on SEC football, and I realize that Arkansas football is not that great right now, but to say (and emphasize that you really mean it) the Hogs should be forced to play themselves back into the conference is nothing more than a publicity stunt manufactured to garner media and fan attention. It’s not serious sports journalism. The Hogs baseball team was an out away from winning the College World Series this year! The basketball team made the Big Dance! Our track and field teams kick ALL of your asses every year! But, none of that matters, I guess.
Clay, you are wrong. Pure and simple.
