The Auburn Tigers fell to the No. 21 Oklahoma Sooners 27-21 on Saturday. They drop to 2-3 on the season and remain winless in SEC play. They let a very winnable game on home field slip away. Unlike their previous losses to Cal and Arkansas,

The Sooners are the eighth-highest-ranked team in the SEC with the Texas Longhorns moving into the No. 1 spot in the nation two weeks ahead of the Red River Showdown. Alabama moved up to No. 2 with their win over Georgia. Ohio State comes in at No. 3 and Tennessee at No. 4. The Bulldogs dropped back to No. 5 after their loss to the Crimson Tide.

The Oklahoma Sooners and Auburn Tigers both are trying to bounce back from 10-point losses in their Southeastern Conference openers where turnovers proved costly and backup quarterbacks were called upon in the second half.
