of course we want Ark to win
It is not an of course at this point. Each Arkansas win gives us about 0.0006 RPI while obviously it helps them much more than that. There are certainly scenarios where a loss by them which would keep us ahead of them is more valuable than a tiny benefit against everyone but them.

Arkansas was 20th this morning and we were 19th. Now they are 16th and we are 20th. They are also a seed or so ahead of us in most bracket predictions. It would be nice if they lost a game in my opinion. Of course they are playing Kentucky soon so that might get taken care of.

As you know, polls dont matter. We just have to take care of business. Seeds cant be accurately predicted yet. the great Lunardi is wrong a lot

Depends on what you mean by "not that good". They're definitely not the top 5, Final Four contender that they are in most years. I think they deserve to be in that top 10-12 spot, with reasonable Sweet Sixteen aspirations (though I think they get tripped up in the first weekend). They're one of the youngest teams in America with no true big man. Young kids don't always respond well to being every team's Super Bowl.
Pony up!

Not as good as they usually are, and not as good as everyone thought. How is that? Of the top seeds, which they will still be because of their brand, they will be the most venerable. I hope we are in their bracket.

Kansas has consistently been ranked in the top 10. To me they are not a top 10 team and have demonstrated that pretty consistently over the course of the year. For me a top 10 team should have a legitimate chance at a final 4 and I just don't see that with Kansas for a number of reasons.
