AP Poll voters have seen enough of Auburn, and they don't think much of what the Tigers have done so far this season.
After entering the poll for the first time since 2021 three weeks ago, Hugh Freeze and the Tigers find themselves entirely out of the voting, receiving absolutely zero votes from the media.
Auburn is coming off a disappointing 16-10 loss to current No. 6 Texas A&M on Saturday in College Station. While DJ Durkin's defense continually gave the Tigers chances to win the game, including a 76-yard interception return by linebacker Xavier Atkins that led to Auburn's only touchdown, Jackson Arnold and company managed just 177 total yards and missed out on all three chances in the fourth quarter to take the lead.
"It sucks," Arnold said. "Obviously, we'll need to go back and look over the game and see what we can improve on and what I can improve on, little things that we can do. I know there's a lot of MA's (missed assignments) that we can look back and fix. We've got two weeks to go and get it right. I'm hoping we'll use that time wisely."
Auburn has a bye week before hosting No. 12 Georgia in Jordan-Hare Stadium on October 11.
