The 1968 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas in the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1968 NCAA University Division football season. In their 11th year under head coach Frank Broyles, the Razorbacks compiled a 10–1 record (6–1 against SWC opponents), shared the SWC championship, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 350 to 189.[1][2] The team finished the season ranked #6 in the final AP Poll and #9 in the final UPICoaches Poll and went on to defeat Georgia in the 1969 Sugar Bowl. Offensive guard Jim Barnes was selected by the AP and Central Press as a first-team player on the 1968 College Football All-America Team.
