In the time frame given, Arkansas has a NC in basketball and a runner up, multiple trips to the CWS and a couple SECW Championships and a BCS bowl appearance. If they are bottom tier, so is Kentucky.
Arkansas has never won even an SEC Championship in football, much less a BCS bowl game or NC.....no one is arguing they have a better football program. Baseball, arky has now gone to the CWS 3 times in the last 35 years....can say better than kentucky, but not by that great to offset the national following the KY basketball program has. Arky is not even close to that national prestige in any sport...and that is what separates Kentucky. Again, this is ranking nationally the SEC programs. we are arguing over possibly the 10th place team in the conference overall.

Your criteria:
SEC Championships have no bearing on national success. Also, you're now saying this has more to do with prestige and following though I'm not sure how that got switched from your initial statement.
National success is in BCS bowls, Final Four appearances and CWS appearances. BCS bowls, Final Fours and CWS appearances as similar, with more validity to the BCS and FFs.
Arkansas: 1 BCS, 2 Final Fours(1 win) and 3 CWS
Kentucky: 0 BCS, 6 Final Fours(3 wins) and 0 CWS
Again, this is your criteria by saying best overall sports program. Arkansas has in the last 25 years show to be the better performer in 2 of the 3 sports, and in the sport Kentucky dominates, they also have a national championship. That isn't too bad. Again, I know you are just fishing in all of this, but to put Arkansas down in the level of Miss State and Ole Miss is laughable. I am not even going to comment that you have them below Vandy.
