Arkansas ranked 16th, Alabama 1st in latest AP poll

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will host a top 25 matchup at home Saturday for the first time since 2011.

The Razorbacks are ranked No. 16 in this week's AP Top 25 poll, up four spots from last week. Arkansas will host No. 1 Alabama on Saturday at 6 p.m.

It will be the first top 25 matchup in Fayetteville since the then-No. 8 Razorbacks beat No. 10 South Carolina 44-28 on Nov. 5, 2011.

It is the first time Arkansas will be ranked for a home game against the nation's No. 1 team since Sept. 25, 2010, also against Alabama.
