Rivals released new team rankings

[wincrimson]

The SEC is once again well represented.

Alabama leads the league at #6, Georgia is at #8, LSU and Arkansas are tied for #14, Auburn is at #23, and Tennessee rounds out the rankings at #25.

Last season, the SEC placed 7 teams in Rivals' NSD Top 10 list, FWIW.  Simply the best...

Good to be way up in the top 20 even during the season.

That's deceptive.  Arkansas has the third most prospect commitments on the list.  We're going to drop when the other schools increase their number of commitments.  We're closest to Texas A & M and Virginia Tech when you consider the points AND number of commitments.  We're definitely not tied with LSU; their points equal ours with four less commitments.

Killjoy.

But, you make valid points. I agree with the earlier post, though: I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.

true true, however if you look at it completely optimistically ugo okpara, marcal robinson, devin thomas and cruz williams could end up 4 stars. and i personally think that youngblood and childs will end up four stars as well. so we may have a better class than the number indicate as well

The average # of commitments in the top 25 is 16 per team.   Arkansas will drop, no question, but we wont plummet.  

LSU (although they are limited on schollies this year)....Clemson, Penn State, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, and Cal will unquestionably catch up with, or pass Arkansas (Florida is a lock to pass us).     Since 02 the average points the 25th ranked team finished with is around 1,200.  Arkansas could get 2 and 3 stars the rest of the way and should comfortably finish in the top 25. 

Guys like Askew (highest rated 5.6 DT in the country), Childs, Youngblood, Cruz, Thomas, Okpara etc.etc. all have an excellent opportunity to have their position rank and RR ratings increase.  I dont think this class will stay in the top 15, but looking at the legitimate teams that will pass us, their ponts and number of commitments, IMO somewhere between 18-22 is where we will end up..  It all depends on who we end up signing and who has their position and RR ratings increased.

And Pick might drop because of the injury, at least with Rivals.
They dropped the top OL in Texas from 5* to 4* because of an injury

I for one hope Arkansas drops in the rankings if it means they offer DeWayne Watts or Rodney Brown.
