Auburn Falls Out of AP Poll
Auburn was ranked in the AP Poll for the first time since 2021 two weeks ago when they entered at No. 24. Auburn fell to 3-1 after the loss, and although they are not in the top-25, the Tigers have plenty of time to recover before the first official College Football Playoff Rankings are announced.
Oklahoma survived a grind in its SEC opener, leaning on a record-setting defensive performance and a late touchdown from John Mateer to outlast No. 22 Auburn 23-16 and move to 4-0.
After allowing ten sacks in Saturday's 24-17 loss to Oklahoma, Auburn's O-line is struggling, and Texas A&M's defensive line needs to take advantage.
OU sacked former quarterback Jackson Arnold nine times on Saturday, tying a school record in the 24-17 victory over Auburn. As a result, Brent Venables’ team climbed in the polls again. Oklahoma rose four spots in the AP Poll to No. 7, and the Sooners jumped up two spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 10.
In the second quarter, Oklahoma scored by appearing to have wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III pretend to head to the sideline, but he remained on the field. With no one from an unaware Auburn defense near him, he caught a wide-open pass in the end zone.
