Following a drought-ending win against LSU in Baton Rouge, Auburn football has jumped to No. 18 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.
It's the highest Auburn has been ranked this season.
The Tigers, now 4-1 on the season, suffered their only loss of the season on the road to No. 4 Penn State two weeks ago.
Auburn will play host to No. 2 Georgia on Saturday in the 126th edition of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. It marks the third straight season where both teams enter the contest ranked in the Top 25.
