FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ 40-21 blowout win over Texas on Saturday caught the attention of college football pollsters.
The Razorbacks, who did not receive any votes in last week’s Associated Press Top 25, vaulted into the poll Sunday at No. 20.
Arkansas (2-0) also entered the USA Today Coaches poll this week at No. 24.
It is the first time Arkansas has been ranked in the AP poll since November 2016, when the Razorbacks were No. 25 for one week. Arkansas was ranked by AP voters for seven weeks total that season.
The Razorbacks’ new ranking could potentially set up a matchup between ranked teams in two weeks when Arkansas is scheduled to play No.
