Auburn is one of seven 6-4 teams in the SEC through the first 11 weeks of the 2026 college football season.
AU is joined by Ole Miss, which took a rare Sunday loss to Oklahoma, now also 6-4, as well as LSU, Florida, South Carolina, and Missouri.
How does this middle-of-the-pack stack up as the top of the conference begins to pull away?
Let's take a look at this week's power rankings:
No. 1: Georgia
Another week, another Georgia win against anyone not named Auburn. That Deep South's Oldest Rivalry upset continues to look puzzling as the nation's No. 1 team continues dominating everyone else. Mizzou never stood a chance this weekend, going down 31-0 before losing 48-21 in Athens.
No. 2: Alabama
Alabama didn't overwhelm Vanderbilt, bringing in an injured Keelon Russell but starting him anyway to great success. The Crimson Tide's next true challenge is in the Iron Bowl.
No. 3: Texas
Surviving LSU in Baton Rouge keeps Texas's SEC Championship Game hopes alive and puts the Longhorns in the driver's seat to make the CFP. Losing to Arkansas or Texas A&M changes that.
No. 4: Tennessee
Tennessee got a big road win at the 12th Man, handling Texas A&M at Kyle Field. The Volunteers are in very good shape with a win over LSU on Rocky Top next weekend.
No. 5: Oklahoma
Oklahoma has quietly gotten its season together after firing offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle. The Sooners got the job done on Sunday at home against the Rebels.
No. 6: Florida
Jon Sumrall's Gators got a good win in Lexington and now have a smooth road to 8-4 if Florida doesn't lose any more focus.
No. 7: Auburn
Most of the conference's middle class lost, but the Tigers won a second-straight game. Auburn is hot at the right time.
No. 8: LSU
LSU had the most excusable loss of any 6-4 team, but that's now two straight defeats since beating Auburn. LSU is officially out of the CFP.
No. 9: Kentucky
That's two straight losses for Kentucky, too. The Wildcats' hype is almost gone, though this has been a great first season for Will Stein's coaching staff.
No. 10: Ole Miss
Ole Miss can take solace in the fact that the Rebels and Lane Kiffin's Bayou Bengals are equally mediocre this year.
No. 11: Missouri
Mizzou lost a second straight game to one of the SEC's best, but the Tigers are solidly in the middle of the pack and don't have an easy finish against Kentucky and Oklahoma.
No. 12: South Carolina
How are you going to lose to Arkansas this late in the season? Shane Beamer's Gamecocks now hope to at least split their final two games against UGA and Clemson.
No. 13: Arkansas
Upsetting South Carolina makes this a decent campaign for Arkansas, which had no hope under Ryan Silverfield not that long ago.
No. 14: Texas A&M
This is solidly the bottom of the conference. Mike Elko is basically begging for his job in College Station. Tough scenes at A&M.
No. 15: Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt predictably lost to Alabama and has an uphill climb to be bowl-eligible for a third-straight year.
No. 16: Mississippi State
Jeff Lebby survived a 41-9 loss to Auburn at home, but not every Mississippi State coach did. The Bulldogs have lost six straight.
