Tennessee and Auburn cleared the benches on Sunday during a heated exchange between players. The Tennessee Volunteers hosted the Auburn Tigers for a massive conference series this weekend as both teams rank inside of the top 10.

Tony Vitello was ejected Sunday in Tennessee's game against Auburn. It was Vitello's first ejection since March 19, 2023, against Missouri.

The Tigers join a plethora of SEC squads in the top 10 of the RPI to begin the week. Auburn checks in at No. 4 behind fellow SEC counterparts Georgia (No. 1), Texas (No. 2), and Vanderbilt (No. 3), and holds the nation's second-toughest schedule behind Texas Tech.
