The Arkansas Razorbacks may have a case to be at the bottom of the women’s SEC Power Rankings considering the fact that they are second to last in the SEC standings and actually have the worst RPI in the conference with a No. 121 ranking.

It’s only by default that they are not.

But last week, they were the first team to lose to who was the worst team in the SEC, and they did it at home.

Right after that, they lost at home to the South Carolina Gamecocks. While there is no shame in such a loss, there is shame when you lose the game by 30 points, as they did.

Jimmy Dykes is still rebuilding this team in just its second year of playing together, and with a winning record, he’s doing a decent job.

But they are still showing an inability to beat competent teams.

This week, they have a tough stretch with two road games. One is against the Florida Gators, which will be a fight to move out of the bottom of the conference.

Then they have a brutal one at the Missouri Tigers, who are playing better than many teams in the conference right now.
