Projected seed: 10 (last four in)
Arkansas’ résumé mixes some signature moments with uneven results away from home and a midseason slate that still offers clear ways to move the needle. The win over Louisville and the tight game at Michigan State, plus the neutral-site meeting with Duke, show the staff can beat and compete with top opponents, while close calls against lower-profile teams and inconsistent road showings raise legitimate doubts. High-visibility chances remain, including neutral tests with Texas Tech and Houston, league trips to Auburn, Georgia, Alabama and Missouri, and big home dates with Texas and Texas A&M, so the team can still boost its standing or deepen concerns depending on how it fares in those spots. Committees prize quality wins and neutral-site success and will penalize poor performances away from home, which is why Arkansas’ blend of signature victories, troubling losses and meaningful remaining opportunities produces its current placement.
