For the second straight week, Auburn fell in the AP Poll. This time the Tigers slipped four spots to No. 23.
The Tigers opened the week with a 72-64 win over Georgia State Wednesday night in Neville Arena but suffered their second loss of the season Sunday, losing 74-71 to the USC Trojans.
Auburn is now a perfect 7-0 on the Plains but just 2-2 on the road, including a 2-1 record at neutral site games and 0-1 in true road games.
They are one of six SEC teams to be ranked, trailing No. 8 Tennessee, No. 9 Alabama, No. 10 Arkansas, No. 15 Mississippi State, and No. 19 Kentucky.
The Tigers will return to the court Wednesday when they face the Washington Huskies in Seattle. Here is a full look at the AP Poll.
