Auburn left Kyle Field on Saturday with their second Top-25 win of the season, beating No. 17 Texas A&M, 28-20. The Tigers came into College Station ranked No. 8 and as a four-point underdog, but left the victor in a dominating performance against the Aggies.
The latest AP poll was released Sunday and Auburn jumped to No. 7. This is one spot up from last week, coming off a 55-16 win over Kent State. Three SEC teams are ranked ahead of Auburn — LSU comes in at No. 4, Georgia is No. 3 and Alabama tops the list for the conference at No. 2.
True freshman Bo Nix finished the game 12-of-20 for 100 yards and a touchdown, with 12 rushing attempts for 38 yards. Joey Gatewood was also 1-for-1 for 6 yards and a touchdown with one rush attempt for 4 yards.
