Razorbacks Extend Streak at No. 1 to 12 Consecutive Weeks

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Death. Taxes. Hogs are No. 1.

Arkansas stayed put as the unanimous top-ranked team in college baseball for Week 14 of the season, leading all six major polls released Monday. Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, D1Baseball, NCBWA, Perfect Game and USA Today each kept the Razorbacks atop their respective rankings for the sixth straight week.

It is the eighth time this season that Arkansas, winners of all nine conference series this year, is the undisputed No. 1 team in the nation as well as the 12th consecutive week that the Hogs maintain the top spot in at least one of the six polls.

The Razorbacks have the longest streak of consecutive weeks (12) at No. 1 in Baseball America’s top-25 poll since North Carolina was ranked No. 1 for 13 straight weeks during the 2013 campaign.

Arkansas, 39-10 overall and 19-8 in SEC play on the year, sits alone atop the SEC standings after taking two of three games on the road against Tennessee over the weekend. The Hogs, who host nationally ranked Florida this weekend at Baum-Walker Stadium, own a two-game lead ahead of second-place Mississippi State in the Western Division entering the final weekend of the regular season.

The Razorbacks need only one win against Florida or one Mississippi State loss at Alabama to clinch at least a share of the division title. With two wins, Arkansas can control its own destiny and clinch its first outright division title since 2011.
