— Half of Arkansas' football games in the coming season will be against teams ranked in the preseason coaches' poll.

Six of the Razorbacks' opponents are ranked, including two teams - No. 2 Alabama and No. 5 Auburn - in the top five. Other ranked opponents for Arkansas this season will include No. 12 Georgia, No. 13 LSU, No. 19 Ole Miss and No. 20 Texas A&M. Another opponent, Missouri, finished one spot outside of the top 25 in the preseason poll.

Some analysts have called the Razorbacks' schedule the toughest in the country this year. Arkansas is scheduled to play 10 teams who made a bowl game last season.

Despite their 3-9 record last year and being picked to finish last in the SEC West this preseason, the Razorbacks received one vote in the preseason coaches' poll. Arkansas coach Bret Bielema is among the 62 voting coaches.

The Razorbacks are scheduled to begin the season at Auburn on Aug. 30.
