On this day in 1994, a quarter of a century ago, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks were preparing to play at Georgia. They were riding an eight-game winning streak and were ranked No. 1 in the country.
The Hogs opened that season at No. 3, but after their fourth game — a win over regional program Memphis — they became No. 1 and held that top spot for nine total weeks over two stints.
A 66-64 loss at Alabama would drop them to No. 4 after the Hogs’ initial five-week stay. An 84-83 win over LSU in Walton Arena in the next game didn’t impress the voters, but season rankings were good for only cussing discussing at that point in the season.
