Arkansas squeaked into the AP's top 25 poll last week for the first time in seven years with the #25 spot, and with a 3-0 week featuring a road win over SMU and a home win over MAAC favorite Iona, the Hogs have made a nice jump in the rankings.
The Razorbacks now stand at #18 in the AP Poll and #21 in the Coaches Poll. They're now the second-highest SEC team after Kentucky, the top team in both poll. Florida has completely dropped out of the AP Poll and fallen to 24th in the Coaches.
Arkansas is now higher-ranked than Thursday opponent Iowa State in the AP Poll, as the Cyclones have fallen following their loss to Maryland. Iowa State is 20th in the AP but still ahead of Arkansas in the Coaches at 19th.
Also, the Razorback women's team was ranked #25 in today's AP Poll following a 6-0 start.
