— Arkansas' 9-1 start is good enough for a bump in the USA Today coaches' poll.

The Razorbacks moved up two positions to No. 10 in the poll that was released Monday. After releasing a preseason poll, the coaches' poll does not begin updating weekly until after the third week of the season.

The Razorbacks have weekend series wins over Eastern Illinois, Southern Cal and Stony Brook this season, and a midweek win over Memphis. Their loss was 6-4 at USC.

Arkansas will host North Carolina-Charlotte twice and Louisiana Tech three times this week. Louisiana Tech (9-2) received votes but was unranked in this week's poll.

The Razorbacks are one of 11 Southeastern Conference teams ranked - the first time a single conference has ever had that many teams in the poll in the same week. Vanderbilt is ranked No. 1, followed by Florida (6), Mississippi State (8), LSU (9), Ole Miss (13), Georgia (15), Auburn (18), Tennessee (21), Texas A&M (22) and South Carolina (24).

Texas, which will host Arkansas twice later this month, is ranked No. 11 following a weekend series sweep of LSU. The Tigers were ranked No. 1 at the time, but fell eight spots this week.
