FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football is ranked in another preseason poll, coming in at No. 19 in the AP Top 25 released Monday. It is the Razorbacks' first preseason ranking in the AP poll since 2015, when Arkansas opened at No. 18.

It comes a week after the Razorbacks appeared at No. 23 in the USA Today Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.

Arkansas' 2022 schedule features five teams also ranked in the top 25: No. 1 Alabama, No. 6 Texas A&M, No. 21 Ole Miss, No. 23 Cincinnati and No. 25 BYU. The Razorbacks are one of six SEC teams to appear on the list.
