Will the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team break into the Top 25 this week? The Hogs are 11-1 and defeated No. 4 Oklahoma last week in Fayetteville. Arkansas has not been ranked since 11.12.07.

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports puts the Hogs 23rd in his national rankings. The Associated Press and USA Today/Coaches’ polls will be released later today.

UPDATE: The Coaches’ Poll gave Arkansas no love. While the Hogs received 27 votes, they are well behind Tennessee who is ranked 25th despite losing to unranked Kansas this weekend. Other teams receiving more votes than the Razorbacks (last win in parenthesis): Davidson (beat Samford); Cal (beat No. 14 Arizona St.); BYU (lost to No. 14 Arizona St.); Illinois (lost to No. 24 Michigan); Memphis (beat Lamar); Ohio State (lost to Minnesota); St. Mary’s (beat Cal State - Bakersfield); Michigan (beat Illinois); Illinois State (beat Creighton); and Dayton (beat Toledo).

While this is fairly amusing, it’s also amusing that the Hogs received the same amount of votes as Gonzaga, a team that lost to Portland State and Utah last week.

And you have to throw an undefeated Clemson team into the top 15, too. After all, marquee wins over Illinois, South Carolina, and Miami demand it.

UPDATE II: The Hogs fared better with the AP writers, but still failed to crack the Top 25.  They received 109 votes, enough to finish just outside the poll, or 28th.  Michigan (153 votes) and Cal (122 votes) are 26 and 27 respectively.  Baylor remains in the poll at 23 despite losing to South Carolina.  Even though Michigan lost to Wisconsin last week, they have wins over UCLA and Duke to their credit. Cal? I guess beating Arizona State is impressive.
