CBS Sports ranks Auburn basketball as the number one team in the country.

Auburn basketball’s thrilling win on the road against Alabama caught national attention.

Most people that follow the sports recognize that Auburn is the hottest team in the country. The Tigers’ play coupled with the fact that previously undefeated Baylor lost to Texas Tech gives a pretty solid argument that Auburn is the top team in the country.

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports ranked Auburn as the best team in college basketball Wednesday. Baylor fell to two. The only other SEC team in the top 10 in LSU at seven. Auburn beat them in Auburn Arena a few weeks ago.

Here was Parrish’s blurb next to Auburn at the top ranking.

Jabari Smith finished with 25 points and seven rebounds in Tuesday’s 81-77 win at Alabama. The Tigers’ next game is Saturday at Ole Miss.

Other SEC teams include Tennessee at 20 and Kentucky at 21.
