Auburn continued its rise in the AP Poll, climbing to No. 13 in the rankings released Monday afternoon. It marked the third time this season the Tigers were included in the poll, with Auburn going from unranked to its current No. 13 position in just three weeks.
During a week in which 16 ranked teams lost, Auburn defeated Texas A&M and LSU to remain unbeaten in SEC play. The other SEC teams in the rankings include No. 6 Tennessee, No. 8 Kentucky and No. 22 Ole Miss.
The Tigers will look to defend their ranking this week when they travel to Vanderbilt and host the No. 22 Rebels, who will be Auburn's first ranked opponent since playing Baylor at the beginning of the season.
