SEC Football: Kentucky, LSU rise in Week 4 2022 power rankings
By Matt Melton
4. Arkansas Razorbacks
Previous Ranking: 3
Even despite picking up a win to advance to 3-0, Arkansas drops a spot after struggling at times last Saturday against Missouri State, beating the Bears 38-27 at home. A game in which the Razorbacks never led until the fourth quarter, Arkansas actually trailed 17-0 midway through the second quarter, and committed three turnovers during the contest.
The Razorbacks will continue SEC Football play in week four as well, with Arkansas traveling to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX for a neutral site showdown with Texas A&M. Both the Razorbacks and Aggies will be ranked in the Top 25 going in, and this is a matchup that either team could honestly come away with the win.
3. Kentucky Wildcats
Previous Ranking: 4
After seeing a small rise a week ago after a road win at Florida, Kentucky sees yet another jump in ranking this week after a 31-0 shutout win at home over Youngstown State. Outgaining the Penguins 480-192 in total yardage, Kentucky did however commit three turnovers during the contest, but were able to build a big lead in the first half due to a 21-0 advantage in the second quarter.
Looking ahead, the Wildcats will have yet another non-conference opponent travel to Lexington in week four as Kentucky will host Northern Illinois. An opponent that lost to Vanderbilt at home in week three, Kentucky will be a big favorite going into Saturday night.
