The Razorbacks are not ranked in preseason top 25 polls recently released by Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports and Athlon Sports. Arkansas is also outside the top 25 in ESPN's Football Power Index.
During an interview on Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly on Monday, Athlon's Braden Gall said the Razorbacks fell just outside the top 25.
