Arkansas baseball’s reign at No. 1 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll lasted one week.
The Razorbacks (32-5, 12-3 SEC) fell one spot to No. 2 in the latest edition of the poll released Monday. The Texas Longhorns now hold the top spot after winning a road series over Kentucky.
The Hogs are coming off a 2-2 week that saw them lose a three-game series against Georgia. Arkansas won the opener on Friday before losing two one-run games.
The Bulldogs — who are ranked No. 5 in the poll — hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th in Sunday’s finale to clinch the series win.
There are ten SEC teams ranked inside the top-25, with No. 3 Tennessee, No. 7 LSU and No. 9 Auburn joining the Razorbacks, Longhorns and Bulldogs in the top-10.
The Hogs continue their season Tuesday with a midweek clash against UAPB before a three-game showdown at home against Texas A&M begins Thursday night.
The Aggies (20-15) are unranked after being the No. 1 ranked team in the preseason, but they’re on a six-game winning streak after beating the Volunteers in a three-game series and sweeping South Carolina in recent weekends.
