Auburn basketball is elite.
At least, it is halfway through the season. The Tigers have depth, talent, energy, fan support, you name it- everything an elite basketball school has. Auburn is at the top of the mountain right now.
However, there seems to be a dispute between who should be ranked No. 1 in the AP poll tomorrow. No. 2 Gonzaga (13-2) has their shot at the top of the rankings as well, after No. 1 Baylor lost back-to-back games, No. 3 UCLA lost to Oregon, and No. 5 USC lost to… well, Oregon as well. The Tigers and the Zags are in a race to earn the favor of the AP voters.
Here are five reasons why Auburn basketball should be ranked at the top of tomorrow’s polls.
