The playoff poll replaces the AP poll as the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s ranking of record once it is initially released each October.
Arkansas (7-3, 3-3 SEC) is scheduled to play at Alabama on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in a game that will be televised by CBS. The Crimson Tide (9-1, 5-1) are No. 2 in all polls.
The Razorbacks had not been ranked by AP members or coaches since a 38-23 loss to Auburn on Oct. 16. That was Arkansas’ third consecutive loss, but the Razorbacks have since won three straight.
