Auburn football’s road to its first SEC win of the season gets tougher this week as they are set to play its fourth-straight ranked opponent.
The Missouri Tigers travel to Auburn this Saturday for a night game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. They will enter the game ranked No. 16 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, falling two spots from No. 14 after losing their first game of the season last Saturday, 27-24 to Alabama. The Crimson Tide continues its upward trend in the poll by jumping two spots to No. 6.

Ten SEC teams are included in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll. Texas A&M is the conference’s highest-ranked team, checking in at No. 4 in this week’s rankings, followed in the top 10 by Ole Miss at No. 5, Alabama at No. 6, Georgia at No. 7, and LSU at No. 10. Tennessee is just outside of the top 10 at No. 11, with Oklahoma (No. 13), Missouri (No. 16), Texas (No. 17), and Vanderbilt (No. 18). Auburn did not receive a vote in this week’s poll, marking the first time all season that the Tigers were not ranked, or did not receive votes.
Here is a look at the latest US LBM Coaches Poll ahead of Week 8’s action.
