Arkansas remains No. 6 in latest United Soccer Coaches Poll | Whole Hog Sports

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas soccer remained No. 6 in the season’s third United Soccer Coaches poll released Tuesday. The Razorbacks have started the season 4-0-1, defeating Gonzaga 4-0 and Western Kentucky 8-0.

The Razorbacks host BYU on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The Cougars entered the season ranked No. 3 but have fallen out of the rankings after a slow start. BYU is eighth among teams receiving votes.

Saturday will be the fourth of six consecutive Arkansas home matches.

For the first time this season, there’s a new No. 1. Stanford overtook Florida State after the Seminoles drew Georgia 1-1. The Cardinal received six of eight first-place votes, with FSU earning the other two.

The Seminoles are now No. 3.

The SEC has four teams ranked — Arkansas (6), Auburn (T-13), Texas (16) and Alabama (24). South Carolina dropped out of the rankings after tying Ohio State and Miami (Ohio) last week, while Georgia dropped out after tying Florida State and losing to Central Florida.

Both the Gamecocks and Bulldogs received votes alongside Mississippi State to round out the SEC’s representation.

The Razorbacks were predicted to win the SEC in the preseason coaches poll.

The ACC has seven ranked teams — the most of any conference — with five in the top 11. The SEC’s four is the third-most while the Big Ten is in second with five ranked teams. The Big East, Big 12 and West Coast Conference have two teams in the top 25 each while the American Athletic Conference, Atlantic 10 and Mountain West have one each.
