Arkansas moves up in polls after SEC win, but falls in BCS standings


 

After a slow start, Arkansas came away with a 29-24 victory at Ole Miss on Saturday. It wasn’t enough to maintain their BCS spot, though.

Despite their SEC road win, the Razorbacks (6-1, 2-1) slipped to No. 10, even after two Top 10 teams lost.

Oklahoma, which lost a home game to Texas Tech, dropped from third to ninth and Wisconsin, which lost at Michigan State, fell from sixth to 15th.

Both Oregon and Kansas State each moved past the Razorbacks.

The BCS standings use the coaches’ poll, the Harris poll and a compilation of six computer ratings to determine which teams play in the five marquee bowls, including the national championship game.

Arkansas moved to No. 8 in both the USA Today and Associated Press polls.

The Razorbacks return to the field next week in Nashville to take on Vanderbilt. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:21 a.m. and the game will be televised on the SEC Network.
