With wins over Morehead State and Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn basketball has moved up one spot to No. 21 in the latest AP Top 25 poll.
Florida's upset over No. 20 Florida State on Sunday knocked the Seminoles out of the poll, allowing the Tigers to move up in the rankings.
Auburn is one of six teams from the SEC ranked in the Top 25, along with No. 13 Kentucky, No. 14 Alabama, No. 16 Arkansas, No. 17 Tennessee and No. 24 Florida.
The SEC has more teams ranked in the Top 25 than any other conference, with the Big 10 the closest with five teams.
Auburn has six teams currently ranked in the Top 25 on its schedule. One of them is No. 23 UConn, which the Tigers will face in the "Battle 4 Atlantis" tournament in Paradise Island, Bahamas, later this month.
Auburn's next game is a road contest against South Florida on Nov. 19. That game will start at 6 p.m. CST and be broadcast on ESPN-plus.
