Oddly enough, the media had thought more of Arkansas football this season than the coaches. At least, when it came to the two polls that was the case.
But just hours after the Razorbacks fell out of the AFCA USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, Arkansas found itself unranked in the Associated Press Top 25, too.

Florida joined Arkansas in falling out of the Top 25 among SEC teams. League members who were ranked include Georgia (1), Alabama (4), Ole Miss (12), Kentucky (15), Texas A&M (17) and Auburn (19).
