Hogs move up to fourth spot in ESPN Power Rankings for Week 2

By Andy Hodges

When you win, good things happen.

After starting the season near the bottom, Arkansas has moved all the way up to No. 4 in the latest ESPN Power Rankings for the SEC.

ESPN.com writer Greg Ostendorf wrote the brief part for the Razorbacks in the latest poll:

4. Arkansas: The big mover this week was Arkansas, as coach Bret Bielema’s bunch picked up a signature road victory at TCU in double overtime. The Razorbacks were the better team for three quarters, and even when adversity struck, they fought back and found a way to win. — Ostendorf

With Texas State next, they shouldn’t drop much and then they go back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to play Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

And, in case you were wondering, the Aggies are No. 2, right behind Alabama in the rankings. Ole Miss is third.
