Auburn joins Top 25

Rejuvenated Auburn jumped into the AP Top 25 for the first time this season, landing at No. 17 after improving to 5-0 under new coach Gene Chizik.

One week after a bunch of upsets gave the Associated Press poll a serious shake-up, a relatively predictable weekend provided some stability — though several teams outside the top 10 lost, dropped out of the rankings and made room for newcomers like Auburn.

No. 23 South Florida (5-0), No. 24 Missouri (4-0) and No. 25 South Carolina (4-1) also moved into The Associated Press poll Sunday. The Bulls and the Gamecocks are in for the first time this season. The Tigers were ranked for a week last month.

The top four in the media poll were unchanged.
