Dallas Keuchel (5-0, 3.45 ERA) and the SEC leading Razorbacks host Vanderbilt this weekend.

As the fifth week of SEC play begins, the Arkansas Razorbacks find themselves atop the standings with an impressive 10-2 conference record.  The Vanderbilt Commodores, coming off a two games to one series victory over Florida last weekend, look to give Arkansas a home test.  LSU, tied for second place in the SEC West, travels to Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide.  The Florida Gators sit at 7-5 in league play and just one game behind SEC East leader Georgia, and they will be travelling to Auburn to take on the Tigers.  Georgia, currently 8-4 in SEC play, looks to extend their one game division lead when they visit Kentucky in an Eastern Division showdown.  Ole Miss, tied for second in the SEC West with an 8-4 conference mark, host the South Carolina Gamecocks, who desperately need a series win to get back in the SEC East race.  Tennessee, losers of nine straight SEC games, host the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Knoxville.
