Auburn’s series loss slightly affects place in polls

Auburn’s series loss slightly affects place in polls

The Auburn Tigers faced yet another challenging opponent on the road in Florida.

The Tigers played close with Florida, but could only salvage one win in the series, taking the final game of the weekend, 7-0.

This week, Auburn will battle yet another tough opponent in the LSU Tigers. The good news is, however, that the series will be played at Jane B. Moore Field.

Here’s a look at where Auburn stands in all four major polls, as well as the SEC standings, ahead of this weekend’s series with LSU.
