FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas is ranked No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Preseason Top 25 and are one of six SEC teams.

Alabama tops the poll at No. 1 with Georgia (3), Texas A&M (7), Kentucky (21) and Ole Miss (24). Arkansas' opening opponent is Cincinnati on Saturday, Sept. 3, and the Bearcats are No. 22, one spot ahead of the Hogs.

The Razorbacks don't face Georgia and Kentucky this season. So four of their opponents are among the Top 25.
