Arkansas picked to finish 14th at SEC Media Days, awarded one All-SEC selection

The results of the preseason SEC Media Days polls have been released.

Every year, the media puts out a predicted order of finish, predicted SEC Champion, and All-SEC Team selections. This year, their opinions of the Razorbacks were clear as crystal. Arkansas was picked to finish 14th in the SEC, preceding only Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

South Carolina beat out Arkansas by 174 points. All other teams predicted to finish high received over 1,000 points. Georgia was predicted to finish first with 3,330 points, followed by Texas with 3,041.

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH

SEC CHAMPION

Landon Jackson was the only Razorback to be selected to a preseason All-SEC, making the second team. James Pearce Jr. of Tennessee and Ole Miss' Walter Nolen received first-team nods over Jackson. However, former Hog Raheim Sanders did earn a second-team All-SEC Honor.
