After drubbing Arkansas by 32 points in Bud Walton Arena, Auburn jumped nine spots up the AP Top 25 poll to be ranked No. 16.

It is the second consecutive week Auburn has been ranked as well as the second week this season the Tigers are in the poll. Auburn is on a seven-game winning streak and sits at 12-2 overall and 1-0 in the SEC.

Seven voters gave Auburn a top 10 slot, with two voters putting Auburn at No. 7 being the highest slot. Four voters did not include Auburn on their ballot at all, a decrease from 31 voters leaving off Auburn last week.

Auburn has been a metrics darling this season, and the human rankings have lagged behind. As of Monday, Auburn is ranked No. 5 overall in the KenPom rankings. The Tigers are ranked ninth in KenPom for both offensive and defensive efficiency.

The only other teams to be top 10 in both categories are the top three overall teams in KenPom: Houston, Purdue and Arizona. All three teams are ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll.

During their win streak, the Tigers are winning by an average of 25 points, and that includes three wins over major conference teams in Indiana, USC and Arkansas.
