Hogs back in AP Top 10

For the first time in a decade, Arkansas will play inside Razorback Stadium as a Top 10 team in the Associated Press poll when the Razorbacks host Missouri State on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. on ESPN+/SECN+.

The Hogs cracked the Top 10 in the AP Poll at No. 10 and check in at No. 11 in the USA Today’s Coaches’ Poll. Arkansas’ return to the Top 10 for the second straight season marks the first time since the 2011-12 seasons. Head Coach Sam Pittman’s 2021 squad rose as high as No. 8 in the AP Poll.

The Razorbacks are 2-0 for the second straight season under Pittman and captured the team’s second straight Southeastern Conference opener with a 44-30 victory over South Carolina yesterday. The back-to-back SEC opening wins are the first since 2003-04 for the Hogs.
