Auburn baseball remains in the top 20 after the series loss at Mississippi State

The Auburn Tigers are ranked 19 in this week's D1Baseball poll.

They did not see much of a slip from their ranking at 17 last week despite losing two of the three games in Starkville, Mississippi this weekend against the Bulldogs. A strong outing by Joseph Gonzolez prevented the series sweep by Mississippi State and allowed Auburn to return home with one win from the weekend.

Auburn is one of five teams from the SEC that are found on this week's rankings. Tennesee remains at the top spot, followed by the Arkansas Razorbacks at four, Georgia is 14, Auburn is 19, and LSU is ranked at 22.

The NCAA Baseball Twitter account tweeted out the rankings Monday afternoon.
