FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is No. 1 in the USA Today Baseball Coaches Poll for the seventh consecutive week and 10th time this season.

The Razorbacks (42-10) swept then-No. 8 Florida last week to clinch the SEC championship. Arkansas has won every weekend series this season.

Arkansas received all 32 first-place votes in the poll for the second consecutive week.

For the first time, the Razorbacks’ next-closest vote getter was not Vanderbilt. Texas replaced the Commodores as the No. 2 team this week.

Vanderbilt fell to No. 3 following a series victory over Kentucky. Other ranked SEC teams include Tennessee (4), Mississippi State (6), Ole Miss (11), Florida (13) and South Carolina (24).

Arkansas has a 17-4 record this season against teams ranked in this week’s poll.
