FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas fell in the USA Today coaches poll Monday following three losses in the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic, but didn't fall far enough to break its streak of weeks inside the top 10.
The Razorbacks (7-3) fell to No. 10 in this week's poll, which is the first update since the preseason when Arkansas was ranked No. 5. The coaches poll will update weekly throughout the rest of the season.
It is the 16th consecutive coaches poll that has the Razorbacks inside the top 10. Arkansas has been ranked in 43 consecutive coaches polls dating to March 2017.
Two of the teams that defeated Arkansas at the College Classic, Oklahoma and Texas, joined the rankings this week at Nos. 16 and 22, respectively, after being unranked in the preseason. Baylor received votes but is unranked following a 3-0 weekend at the College Classic that included a win over the Razorbacks.
Arkansas is one of 11 SEC teams ranked this week, along with Florida (No. 1), Georgia (3), Vanderbilt (5), Ole Miss (8), Tennessee (11), Auburn (17), Mississippi State (19), LSU (22), Texas A&M (24) and Alabama (25).
