The college football season is finally here and that means we have actual football to base our rankings on. As he does every week, USA TODAY’s Paul Myerberg re-ranked all NCAA teams from 1-131 and Auburn made a slight move up in this week’s edition.

Auburn’s two biggest rivals — Alabama and Georgia —sit atop the rankings at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Auburn will have another chance to move up in the rankings Saturday when they host the San Jose State Spartans in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The get is set to start at 6:30 p.m. CT and will be on ESPNU.
