Auburn baseball takes a step forward in the polls this week after taking two of three games from Kentucky over the weekend.
The latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll has placed Auburn at No. 11 in this week's rankings, up one spot from No. 12 in last week's poll. The Tigers rose in the polls after going 2-2 in last week's action, dropping a midweek contest to Jax State and the middle game to Kentucky on Saturday by a run. Both the Gamecocks and Wildcats received votes in this week's USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
Auburn is one of 10 SEC teams in this week's coaches poll, joining Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Oklahoma in the top 15. Texas A&M made a giant jump in the ranking after taking two games from Texas and former head coach Jim Schlossnagel over the weekend; the Longhorns fell from No. 2 to No. 4 after losing the series to their in-state rival. Auburn's next opponent, Florida, jumped six places to No. 18 after winning a road series at Georgia. The Bulldogs, however, suffered minimal damage by falling one space to No. 5.
