Auburn baseball receives votes in latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll

The Auburn Tigers faced the No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks in their SEC conference opener last weekend, and could not fight off the cold weather and Arkansas’ hot bats in a sweep by the hands of the home-standing Hogs.

Despite the series loss, Auburn is still getting looks as one of the top teams in the nation, as they are receiving votes in this week’s USA TODAY Coaches Poll.

The SEC continues to dominate the polls this week, as four of this week’s top five teams, as well as 11 total teams in the poll, call the conference home. The Razorbacks rose three spots after sweeping Auburn, and this weekend’s opponent, Georgia enters the week unranked in the poll. The Tigers and Bulldogs begin this weekend’s series on Thursday night at Plainsman Park.
