Where We Stand: March 10

With Selection Sunday less than a week away, it's time for the last installment of our Pulitzer-winning "Where We Stand" series, which is designed to give you a quick look at what kind of shape the Hogs are in for an NCAA Tournament bid. Without further ado:

RPI (Ratings Percentage Index): 43 (last week's ranking: 38, Feb. 25th ranking: 35).

Record over last 10 games: 5-5.

Bracketology's March 10 NCAA Tournament Projection: a No. 10 seed in the West Region, slated to play No. 7 seed Southern California (this is sounding familiar) in a first-round match-up in Little Rock.

CNN/SI.com's March 10 Projection: a No. 10 seed in the West Region, scheduled to play No. 7 seed Kansas State.

Bracketography.com's March 9 Projection: a No. 11 seed in the Midwest Region, slated to play No. 6 seed Butler in Omaha, Neb.

CBS' Sportsline.com's March 10 Projection: Says the Hogs are in, but doesn't specify a seeding.

FoxSports.com's March 10 Projection: a No. 12 seed in the Midwest Region, slated to play No. 5 seed Washington State in Tampa, Fla.

SportingNews.com's March 10 Projection: lists Arkansas as a No. 10 seed, but doesn't specify first-round opponent.

Rivals.com: In its listing of bubble teams, the site places the Razorbacks in the "looking good" category.

Oops. Sorry ’bout that. Thanks for the heads-up.

Should be fixed now.

How can we be a 9 seed playing a 6 seed (butler)? Don’t know if its typo…

Wherever we land in seeding, should any of us be shocked if we are one and done yet again? Sadly, I’ll only be shocked if we win our first round game.
