AP rankings

Someone please explain how a 7-4 Arkansas team is still in the top 25 over 8-3 Clemson. Clemson's 3 losses come from a national championship contender that never scored an offensive touchdown and two teams that are in the running for the ACC championship, of which one had to win in double overtime. How does a 7 point loss to Alabama outweigh a 21 point drubbing of a top 10 Wake Forest, given the amount of injuries we have. Purest example of bias against our Tigers.

You just will not believe. I said previously it is us against the world. It has always been that way and it always will be. The only good words we get is briefly when we are putting a whipping on someone. Pitt coach was so complimentary while we were dominating him but you see the way he acted when he defeated us. They jane got us down and they are trying to keep their foot on.

Get over it. We have played 4 ranked teams and lost to 3 of them. We have not been good enough to be ranked but now that we are a healthy team we can win Saturday and win a Bowl game and be ranked. A 10-3 final record would be an awesome year considering how inexperienced we were and how many players lost games due to injury.

Polls are meaningless because of the bias by who is voting. Need to use nothing but technology.

It doesn't matter who's voting in them.
*Except for the CFP.

We have 18 people out right now. Another fun fact, we have 7 guys that have started every game this year…. 7. ….

Did I miss something? You said “now that we are healthy”. When did we get healthy?

Arkansas has played ranked teams and beat none of them that is worth mentioning! What is your point?

I agree that it is strange we are not ranked after beating Wake.

Arkansas played Bama to a 7 point defeat.
On the other hand, when Clemson played GA,....... uh, never mind.

Kentucky in the coaches poll is worse than that…

They had lost 3 games in a row (UGA, miss st. & Tennessee to fall to 6-3.
After wins over Vandy and New Mexico St…they re-enter the coaches poll.
Looking back…their big win was um, Florida?
LSU?
Hope Louisville does a number on them Saturday.
Arkansas lost to UGA 37-0. Just to reinforce your point.
Will be interested to see if playoff committee looks differently at it. Maybe we sneak in that one.

I think most voters formed their opinion of us earlier

in the season when we were turning literally every game into a dogfight that could go either way at the end and seem a bit unwilling to change that perspective.
