The Arkansas Razorbacks (9-2 0-0 SEC) remained unranked in the latest AP College Basketball Top 25 released Monday.

Despite a primetime win over then-No. 14 Michigan last Tuesday and an 82-57 rout of Central Arkansas on Saturday, the Hogs still don’t have a number by their name. They weren’t far off, as they received the second-most votes (151) of unranked teams, behind Mississippi State.

This week, Arkansas has just one matchup, a Saturday afternoon tilt against North Carolina A&T.

The Southeastern Conference is strong from top to bottom this year, and this week’s AP Poll shows that. Five of the top seven (No. 1 Tennessee, No. 2 Auburn, No. 4 Kentucky, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Florida) teams belong to the SEC.

All told, there are eight SEC teams in the AP Poll. No. 12 Texas A&M, No. 14 Oklahoma and No. 17 Ole Miss are also listed.

According to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Razorbacks rank 42nd overall (11.9 BPI, 11th in SEC) with a 5.1 offensive and 6.8 defensive rating. Arkansas is projected to finish with an 18.5-12.5 (7.5-10.5 SEC) overall record and it has a 0.1% chance to win the SEC.

After the NET rankings debut had Arkansas ranked No. 52 initially, the Razorbacks have bounced around several spots. After the win over Michigan, the Hogs moved to No. 40, but as of Monday sit at No. 47. They are 1-2 in Quad 1 games, 0-0 in Quad 2, 3-0 in Quad 3 and 4-0 in Quad 4.

Here is the full AP Top 25 from Monday:

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas running back Braylen Russell apparently reversed field yet again on Sunday evening by seemingly announcing he was re-entering the NCAA transfer portal.

The rising sophomore from Benton had entered the portal last Tuesday but withdrew his name later that day.

On Sunday evening, Russell posted a somewhat cryptic message that read, “Thank you Arkansas! It’s time to do what’s best for me and my family, #0 out.”

A UA spokesperson said as of Sunday evening Russell’s name was not in the portal, but multiple online outlets are reporting he plans to do that. The portal opened on Dec. 9 and will close on Dec. 28.

Russell, a 6-1, 253-pounder and former 4-star prospect, was one of the top freshman signees for the Razorbacks during the 2023-24 recruiting cycle. He rushed for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns on 47 carries. Russell averaged 6.5 yards per carry, the highest among Razorbacks with two or more attempts.

If Russell enters he would become the 24th known scholarship Razorback to enter the portal.

Arkansas players with known landing spots to this point are the trio of tight end Luke Hasz, offensive lineman Patrick Kutas and cornerback Jaylon Braxton, all to Ole Miss, and linebackers Brad Spence (Texas) and Kaden Henley (Harding).

In other Arkansas football news this weekend, offensive lineman Brooks Edmonson was placed on scholarship by Coach Sam Pittman. Edmonson, a 6-4, 313-pound redshirt sophomore from Bryant, was notified of his scholarship by Pittman during an exit interview on Dec. 5.

Edmonson has played in 11 games, primarily on special teams, but he has also worked some snaps at center in place of Addison Nichols. With Nichols and interior starters Kutas and Josh Braun all in the portal, Edmonson has a shot at more playing time in the Liberty Bowl against Texas Tech on Dec. 27 in Memphis.

Edmonson and tight end Maddox Lassiter of Warren have both received scholarships since the end of the regular season for the Razorbacks (6-6).
