Arkansas moves into tie for second in USA Today Sports coaches poll

Arkansas is tied for second with Florida in the USA Today coaches poll that came out Monday.

After a series victory over No. 7 South Carolina over the weekend, Arkansas vaulted into a share of second in the USA Today coaches poll.

The Razorbacks are tied with Florida for second, trailing Wake Forest, which received all but one first place vote.

In fourth is LSU, followed by Stanford in fifth.

Vanderbilt, Arkansas’ next opponent, is sixth, while West Virginia, Coastal Carolina, South Carolina and Clemson round out the top ten.

The ranking is the highest of the season for the Razorbacks, who began the year sixth. The lowest they have ever fallen was eighth.

Other SEC teams in the coaches poll are Tennessee at 19th and Kentucky in 20th.

The final poll of the regular season will come out next Monday before the SEC Tournament begins on Tuesday, May 23.
