After falling out of the top 25 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll a few weeks ago, the Auburn Tigers continued to plummet in the rankings this week. Even though [autotag]Butch Thompson[/autotag]’s squad failed to receive a ranking in the poll the last few weeks, they did receive some votes to be included.
That was not the case in the newest addition to the poll, as the Tigers fell completely out of consideration for the first time this season. The result is not surprising considering Auburn was swept by No. 3 Texas A&M in College Station over the weekend.
The series loss was the Tigers fourth straight to open the SEC season. The streak has a solid chance of extending to 5-straight series losses when the No. 4 ranked Tennessee Volunteers head to the Plains on Friday for a three-game set.
Auburn is now 16-11 on the season but just 1-8 in SEC play. The Tigers are also winless on the road, where they have dropped all six of their contests.
