Snapping a three-game skid brings good vibes. Getting votes for the Top 25 brings more.
Arkansas was back in positive territory Sunday as the Razorbacks picked up three points in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll to rank a de facto No. 38. The Hogs beat BYU, which went from No. 26 to picking up no votes, on Saturday, 52-38.
Arkansas will have plenty of chances to increase their standing in their final five games. Sam Pittman’s team has a bye for Week 8, but returns with Auburn, Liberty (which ranked No. 32), LSU (No. 26), Ole Miss (No. 7) and Missouri.
Other teams Arkansas has played also picked up plenty of votes. Alabama fell from its top spot after losing to Tennessee and is No. 6. Cincinnati was 19th, Mississippi State dropped to No. 24 after losing to No. 18 Kentucky and South Carolina was a de facto No. 29.
