With just one week left in the regular season, Auburn is nowhere to be found in the latest AP poll.
The Tigers have not received a vote in any of the three most recent additions of the poll and will be hard-pressed to climb into the rankings before the end of the regular season.
Their two remaining games are against No. 2 Alabama and No. 12 Tennessee, two teams that have already beaten Auburn.
The Tigers opened last week with a hard-fought win over the Ole Miss Rebels and looked like they could find a way to sneak into the rankings if they could pull off the upset over Kentucky.
That did not happen as the Wildcats dominated them 86-54 in Rupp Arena. Auburn fell to 19-10 overall and 9-7 in the SEC with the loss and is in serious jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament if they do not pick up a win against Alabama and Tennessee or go on a run in the SEC Tournament.
