Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “We’re not going to walk in with a PowerPoint on the SEC championship race and who has what and all those things,” Kelly said. “I’ve about come to the fact that if you team’s not ready, they’re going to get beat, and if they are, you’ve got a really good chance to win,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said. “It becomes a trap game if you’re not thinking the right way.” BATTLING BIG QUARTERBACKS Part of Kelly’s adaptation to coaching in the SEC has been going against large, dual-threat quarterbacks. “We’re going to embrace the cold, we’re going to embrace the 11 o’clock, we’re going to embrace that we’ve got the leaders of the West coming in here,” Pittman said, adding, “the colder the better.” SUSPENSIONS Hours after Arkansas’ loss to Liberty, defensive backs Myles Slusher and Anthony Brown were arrested by Fayetteville police on disorderly conduct charges.
