Arkansas holds a spot in the Ferris Mowers Poll for the second straight week, joining four other SEC programs in the poll.
Facing a tough week with a trip to Florida on Tuesday, and a home tilt with No. 3 Kentucky on Saturday, the Razorbacks will look to improve their poll position by grabbing two more wins.
