Auburn maintained its spot in the AP poll for a 29th consecutive week, checking in at No. 21 in the Week 10 rankings released Monday.

The move up one spot from No. 22 for Auburn comes after a week in which it split a pair of games against Georgia and Arkansas. The Tigers fell on the road to the Bulldogs by a dozen on Wednesday but bounced back with a 13-point win at Neville Arena against the Razorbacks, who entered the game ranked No. 13 in the nation but dropped to 15th in this week’s poll.

The double-digit win against Arkansas was Auburn’s best of the season, as Bruce Pearl’s team improved to 2-1 in Quadrant 1 games this year (the November neutral-site win against Northwestern is now a Q1 game, as the Wildcats moved up to No. 47 in NET rankings).

Auburn is one of five SEC teams ranked in this week’s AP poll, behind No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Tennessee, No. 15 Arkansas and No. 20 Missouri.
