Arkansas opens the season No. 10 in the first Associated Press poll of 2012.

SEC teams make up half of the Top 10. Alabama is No. 2, LSU No. 3, Georgia No. 6 and South Carolina No. 9.

Last season the Razorbacks ended at No. 5 after tying a school record with 11 wins. This is their highest preseason ranking since 1980 when Arkansas opened No. 6.

Is the preseason ranking too high? Too low? Just right?

Here’s the poll:
