FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is predicted to finish last in the Southeastern Conference Western Division by media members who cover the league.
The Razorbacks finished with 343 points on the 260 ballots submitted at this week's SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., 161 points behind sixth-place Ole Miss.
Points in the preseason poll are awarded similar to The Associated Press poll, where a first-place vote in the seven-team division is worth seven points, and a last-place vote is worth one point.
Arkansas has finished last in the SEC West the past two seasons when it had a combined SEC record of 1-15. The Razorbacks enter the 2019 season on an 11-game conference losing streak.
Alabama is an overwhelming favorite to win the SEC West, garnering 253 first-place votes. LSU is predicted to finish second, followed by Texas A&M, Auburn and Mississippi State.
Georgia received 233 first-place votes in the SEC East, followed by Florida, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
Reigning SEC champion Alabama received 203 votes to win the league championship this season. Georgia received 49 votes to win the conference title.
Arkansas linebacker De'Jon Harris (second team) and defensive lineman McTelvin Agim (third team) were on the preseason All-SEC teams voted on this week.
Alabama led all teams with 21 players on the preseason All-SEC teams, including 12 on the first team.
