Arkansas' streak as the consensus No. 1 team in college baseball reached six weeks Monday, and there appears to be no stopping the Razorbacks as they close in on their first SEC regular-season title since 2004.

The Trojan War is a tale familiar to many, and rightly so since its commencement in the 12th century B.C., it’s been retold for its extraordinary turmoil.
