Will the Razorbacks earn a top 25 ranking? I think they deserve it. I'm saying 23-24

Maybe, but doubtful.   Probably get some votes?

Who are the non Top 25 teams in the Sweet 16? South Carolina and who else? Those teams are likely to be moved up first ....

Should be top 25 for sure.

Others receiving votes-- about 30th or so, if you extended the poll beyond the Top 25.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

I'm sorry -- there's no doubt in the world that Arkansas finished the season playing top 25 basketball. Top 25 polls in basketball are ridiculously pointless as a barometer for ranking teams.

Doesn't matter to me if we are ranked or not. We probably have earned the 24 or 25 spot but it's irrelevant at this point.

If so, I can't imagine why.

Players, coaches and a lot of fans do.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

If they aren't ranked, believe me it will come up several times in here.

Doubtful. We were only receiving like one or two votes before the tourney.

Numbers and rankings do something to people for some reason. It makes them feel better I guess. It does make your program look better and bring more positive attention to your program when you can go look at polls and see Arkansas's name on there. Just saying...

Is there anything more meaningless and redundant than a poll of media people when the matter is being settled on the court.  It is relevant before the tournament because it gives you an idea of who gets in and seedings but not now.

Coaches might have incentives to be paid if so. 

Realistically they deserve it. Will they get?  I wouldn't bet on it.
