The Arkansas Razorbacks did lose to the Ole Miss Rebels, they have similar RPI rankings with similarly easy schedules, and they have the exact same SEC record and overall record.

However, the Razorbacks have actually improved in recent weeks, so they get to be ahead of the Rebels in our SEC Power Rankings. Okay, so last week they beat the Vanderbilt Commodores, which is not much to brag about. But before that, they scored a pretty impressive win at Alabama.

And a loss to the Missouri Tigers is not too much to be ashamed of.

Jimmy Dykes has this team developing and slowly improving upon what it did last year. The return of Jessica Jackson should help, but she and Malica Monk together still have some things to work out. After all, they struggled offensively against the Tigers.

And offense has been terrible since SEC play began, so that has to improve.

But the LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs are up next, so both are chances for the Razorbacks to move up in these SEC Power Rankings.

In fact, they have to take advantage of those games because after that they have the South Carolina Gamecocks, Missouri Tigers again, and Kentucky Wildcats as three of their next four games.
