The 8 that had us unranked should lose their voting privileges. Totally asinine.

The 2 chicks (assuming Lindsay in a woman) have us unranked. Lemme at ‘em.

How anyone can have Arkansas unranked at this point is just stupid.

Wins over Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Minnesota. A perplexing loss to a Houston team that has shown it isn't terrible. A loss to UNC the day after a very tough and energy draining game against OU.

Is there just legit hate for Arkansas or are they racists? I always felt like Nolan's teams got the shaft at times because they didn't like the way we played ball. I am sort of starting to get that same feeling about their views on Mike's teams.

I think quite a few of the national media are annoyed that this year the SEC is looking like a powerhouse in basketball.

Its going to be an all SEC affair for the football national championship and now they have to worry about us being a top 3 conference in roundball as well.

So a team like Arkansas, who has been fairly mediocre for a while if we are being honest, is not going to get very much love from them. It doesn't matter that we are having an excellent season so far, they want to find a reason to not rank us if they can.

I disagree that it is intentional.

I think a lot in the nat'l media have such entrenched beliefs about bball pecking order that they vote SEC lower out of inertia

While I agree, I'm not shocked people have this shite opinion


Your losses were also pretty ugly though + the Problem is the timing of the OU/MN wins

OU- OU wasn't "good" then so you didn't get credit. Voters don't seem to reevaluate the resume every week like they should bbut almost cement the value of the win when it happened

MN- This win caused MN to have lost 3/4 including a bad Nebraska L + their weird Alabama game

TN- Winning in OT at home against another these specific voters prob underrate isn't a good win in their eyes

Not to mention the vice-grip the SEC has on baseball.
