After defeating Tennessee to make their season record 5-0, Auburn jumped into the top 25. However, Georgia did the opposite.
The Dawgs fell out of the rankings after a close 20-13 loss to the LSU Tigers on Saturday. They dropped out of both the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll. Their rankings last week were #18 in the AP and #14 in the Coaches. LSU remained at #4 in both polls.
Auburn's offense has led them to a 5-0 record and a new ranking: #17. After being unranked in the preseason-week four, the Tigers' offense led them to a huge 26-22 win over Tennessee in Neyland Stadium. Quarterback Chris Todd completed 19 of 32 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown. Tailback Ben Tate rushed 25 times for 128 yards and a touchdown.
Houston, Georgia, Michigan, and California were the teams that dropped from the rankings. California even ended up with no votes.
