10. Auburn (1-2)

Last week rank: 8

Week 3 result: 29-16 loss to Texas A&M

What started as a promising start for Auburn, quickly disappeared and has Auburn once again searching for answers.

What offense the Auburn Tigers found last week against Arkansas State, was gone or never carried over to this game against Texas A&M. Quarterback Sean White was ineffective and the offense never could gain traction against the Aggies. The Tiger defense played well for the first quarter but seemed to just magically disappear and never returned after that, as the Tigers gave up 13 points in the second quarter and 13 points in the second half. If not for an ineffective offense, Auburn might have had a better shot at winning this game.

After believing the puzzle was cracked, Gus Malzhan will have to regroup his team and get ready for LSU.

Next game: September 24, vs LSU, 6:00pm ET ESPN
