AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn is on the right track for a postseason berth, but the Tigers can make some noise this week at No. 1 Florida.

The Tigers (30-12, 9-9 SEC) ride into Gainesville, Florida on a six-game winning streak having won seven of their last eight games behind a revitalized offense and, yet again, stellar weekend pitching. Auburn can make some noise and potentially put itself in position to host an NCAA Regional with a series victory at Florida, which is coming off a midweek loss to Mercer.

Florida (34-9, 14-4), however, has lost only one SEC game at home all season and has yet to lose a series at home or on the road in the conference. Auburn's sweep of Alabama last week was its first series victory on the road in the SEC this season.

The Tigers have plenty of time to improve their postseason resume with four SEC series remaining, but the postseason picture is beginning to take shape. Auburn ranks No. 10 nationally in the RPI heading into the weekend.

Let's take a look at where the top publications project Auburn in the postseason heading into the road trip to Gainesville. First pitch Thursday between the two schools is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
