The Auburn Tigers had a disappointing week, not only did they lose their series against Texas A&M, but they also lost their midweek clash against UAB.
The 1-3 week saw them fall to 19-12-1 overall and 4-8 in SEC play on the season. They also fell completely out of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, receiving no votes.
While Auburn missed the poll, the SEC was once again well-represented with seven teams making the top 25. No. 1 LSU led the way with No. 3 Florida, No. 4 Vanderbilt, No. 5 South Carolina, and No. 6 Arkansas all cracking the top 10.
They will have a chance to climb back into the rankings on Tuesday when they travel to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech. They will return to SEC play this weekend when they head to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama in a three-game series.
Here is a look at the full poll.
