Auburn won on Saturday but that was pretty much the only positive for the Tigers who barely beat San Jose State 24-16.
The poor performance caused them to fall nine spots to No. 90 in Paul Myerberg’s reranking of every NCAA football team after Week 2 for the USA TODAY.
The Tigers are now the 11th highest ranked SEC team as several teams fell after suffering losses. The biggest faller was Texas A&M, who fell 19 spots after their stunning upset to App State in College Station.
Auburn will have a chance to vault up the rankings this Saturday when they host Penn State. The Nittany Lions are ranked No. 8 in this week’s ranking and enter the game as 3-point favorites over the Tigers.
Here is the ranking of each SEC team:
- No. 1 Alabama
- No. 2 Georgia
- No. 7 Kentucky
- No. 10 Arkansas
- No. 16 Florida
- No. 22 Tennessee
- No. 25 Ole Miss
- No. 27 Texas A&M
- No. 38 Mississippi State
- No. 56 LSU
- No. 70 Auburn
- No. 73 South Carolina
- No. 81 Missouri
- No. 100 Vanderbilt
