Auburn was a team that would not be denied last weekend as the program won the 2019 SEC Tournament in dramatic fashion over a heavily favored Tennessee program in Nashville.
AP voters clearly took notice of the action as the Tigers made the biggest jump in the latest AP poll, which was released on Monday.
Tennessee is now the SEC’s highest-ranked team heading into the NCAA Tournament with Kentucky only one spot behind the Vols. LSU has fallen out of the top 10 as the Tigers are now ranked at No. 12 with the SEC champions coming in at No. 14 nationally in the new poll.
Here is a breakdown of the SEC teams listed in the new poll as well as their movement from last weekend:
#6 Tennessee (up two spots)
#7 Kentucky (down three spots)
#12 LSU (down three spots)
#14 Auburn (up eight spots)
