Auburn received one vote in the Week 4 Associated Press Top 25 poll following the 45-13 win over Samford on Saturday.

Auburn did not receive any votes in last week’s poll following a close win over Cal. Auburn did receive votes in both the preseason poll as well as the first poll of the regular season.

Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times was Auburn’s one voter. He had Auburn at No. 25. He has not previously voted for Auburn this season.

“Some of the advanced metrics I check were higher than I expected on Auburn and the Orange, which is why I chose them over a group that included the Gators, UCF, BYU, Fresno State and Missouri,” Baker wrote.

Three SEC West teams were ranked in the poll with LSU leading the way at No. 12. Alabama was ranked No. 13 and Ole Miss ranked No. 15. The last time Alabama was ranked outside the top 10 was Sept. 2015.

No other SEC West teams received a vote, which would effectively slot Auburn fourth in the division based on the rankings after a 3-0 start to the year.

No SEC West teams were ranked in the top 10. Six total SEC teams were ranked. Georgia stayed at No. 1 and Florida joined the poll at No. 25 after a win over Tennessee. Tennessee did remain ranked, falling to No. 23

Auburn also received 16 voting points in the Coaches Poll, which was also the fourth most among SEC West teams. The same trio of Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss were ranked in that poll. Texas A&M received 11 voting points in that poll. Arkansas got one and Mississippi State had none.

Auburn begins SEC play next week against Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN. ESPN’s SEC Nation will be on campus at Texas A&M for the game, as well.
