The Razorbacks (23-7, 8-4 SEC) still have the second-highest ranking among SEC teams. Tennessee is No. 1 in the poll for the third consecutive week.
Florida moved up five spots into a tie for No. 17 after winning the final two games of the three-game series against Arkansas. It was the Razorbacks’ first SEC series loss since 2019.
LSU, which will come to Baum-Walker Stadium for a three-game series beginning Thursday, is ranked No. 12 this week. The Tigers (23-9, 7-5) moved up four spots after sweeping Mississippi State on the road.
Other SEC teams ranked this week are No. 10 Georgia, No. 17 Vanderbilt (tie) and No. 22 Auburn.
Ole Miss, which was ranked No. 1 three weeks ago and No. 8 last week, fell out of the poll after it was swept by Alabama at home.
