The Tigers are still in the polls after Sunday’s loss to USC, but the void of being unranked is drawing closer with every loss.
Auburn once again found itself dropping in the USA Today Sports Coaches Poll on Monday, falling six spots from No. 18 to No. 24 with Marquette being the only buffer between being ranked and unranked. The AP Poll is a tad kinder, as the Tigers sit at No. 23 in that ranking.
Both teams Auburn has lost to thus far, USC and Memphis, are unranked in either poll. It’s been a bit of a rough stretch for the Tigers in non-conference play so far, as the team started the year at No, 14 in the coaches poll and have fallen a total of 10 spots in recent weeks.
