Auburn Tigers receiving votes in the AFCA Today Coaches Poll
The Tigers technically moved down in the latest edition of the Coaches Top 25 poll.
After finishing with 98 points in the preseason Coaches Poll (starting the year technically ranked No. 31), Auburn received 15 points worth of votes in week two of the AFCA Today Coaches poll and slid down to No. 36.
Auburn defeated Mercer 42-16 this past weekend, but apparently in the eyes of the coaches, that performance was worthy of 83 less points.
Seven SEC teams (half the conference) made the top 25, including Florida, who skyrocketed up to No. 19 in the rankings after receiving 17 points in the preseason poll.
Georgia, who throttled Oregon in Atlanta, surpassed Ohio State for the No. 2 spot in the poll. Alabama took 57 of the 65 first-place votes. Georgia (6) and OSU (2) were the only other two schools to receive a first-place vote.
