Final 2026 NCAA Men’s Formchart — Arkansas Higher Yet

DOUG CASE’S RAZORBACKS continue on a roll. The Fayetteville crew has been favored from the first of our 4 yearly charts. In the first week of April their predicted score started at 41 (for a 1-point edge over Auburn), rose to 54 (6 points over Oregon) and then reached 69 (27 ahead of Oregon and Texas A&M) last time. And now we head to Eugene with the Hogs having a 29-point bulge.

They’ll be tough to beat.
