Rankings from AP Poll

The 1969 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas in the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1969 NCAA University Division football season. In their 12th year under head coach Frank Broyles, the Razorbacks compiled a 9–2 record (6–1 against SWC opponents), finished in second place behind Texas in the SWC, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 353 to 103. The team finished the season ranked No. 7 in the final AP poll and No. 3 in the final UPI Coaches Poll and went on to lose to Ole Miss in the 1970 Sugar Bowl. The loss to No. 1 Texas in the Big Shootout game, is still considered the most devastating defeat in program history. That loss robbed Arkansas of a conference title and a national championship.
