8. Auburn Tigers

Previous Ranking: 10

One of the biggest risers of the week was Auburn, as the Tigers jump two spots to No. 8 sitting at 30-19-1 overall, as well as 14-13 in SEC play. Auburn would win all three games they played this past weekend, sweeping Ole Miss in Oxford by final scores of 16-4, 8-2, and 13-5.

Having won their last five games, the Tigers will return to action Tuesday night at home against Jacksonville State. Auburn will then conclude SEC baseball regular season play at home during the weekend against Missouri.

7. Tennessee Volunteers

Remaining at the No. 7 spot this week is Tennessee, as the Volunteers now sit at 35-17 overall, as well as 14-13 in SEC play. After a 9-4 victory over Austin Peay on Tuesday to begin the week, the Volunteers would go on to win games one and two over Kentucky during the weekend, 10-6 and 10-7, respectively, but would drop game three, 10-0.

Tennessee will now return to action Tuesday night at home against Belmont. The Volunteers will then conclude the regular season this weekend at South Carolina.
