The winner of that matchup made their way into the brand new US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday following the results of Week 7.

The Big Ten featured three teams in the top six of the latest poll, while Washington moved into the top five following their massive win over Oregon.

Arkansas picks up literally just one vote in US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 3

Incidentally, Arkansas is now tied with BYU in the ‘Others Receiving Votes’ category outside the Top 25.

The SEC’s two decades of dominance appear finished.

With the three weeks of the college football season finished, the US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday is the latest sign that the conference that was head and shoulders above everyone else is dipping.

The SEC isn’t flailing, exactly. Georgia remained the No. 1 team in the nation. But Tennessee dropped nine spots to No. 20 after falling to Florida Alabama fell two more spots to No. 12 after a two-touchdown win against lowly South Florida. LSU and Ole Miss each moved up, though. One spot for the Tigers and three for the Rebels.

As for Arkansas, the Razorbacks picked up one point in the voting. So did their opponent Saturday, Brigham Young. That means that one coach among the 60ish who vote in the poll placed Arkansas as No. 25 and one coach placed BYU at No. 25.

Arkansas travels, incidentally, to LSU for Week 4 in a game that will either see the Hogs back in the Top 25 afterward or relegate them outside the “others receiving votes” section.
