The Auburn Tigers defeated the then number. 13 Arkansas by a wide margin on Saturday, but sometimes it’s hard to please everyone.

Despite a 72-59 victory over the higher ranked RazorbacksAuburn loses again in USA TODAY Athletic Coaches Poll – The Tigers dropped two spots from 20th to 22nd.and the Arkansas team they beat dropped three spots from 13th to 16th. Since Auburn’s loss to the Georgia Bulldogs occurred between the polls, it is likely that the Tigers’ loss in that game contributed to their lower rankings.

However, the detachment of Bruce Pearl could also become a victim of circumstances. The Duke Blue Devils needed room to land after narrowly beating Boston College after an embarrassing loss to North Carolina State, so they dropped seven spots to No. 21 with a win over No. 7 Connecticut and the St. Johns.

As a result, after the win, the Tigers did not have enough room to move forward, and so they found themselves on the losing end despite a solid performance against a higher-ranked SEC team – the team’s poor play against Georgiathough probably more important in the decision to put it lower.

Auburn will have another chance to move up in the polls when he takes on Ole Miss on Tuesday at 8:00 pm CT.
