Auburn took it on the chin on Saturday in Athens in a 27-6 defeat to Georgia as the Tigers gained only 216 yards of total offense and were dominated on both sides of the ball.
On Monday, 247Sports released its updated on bowl projections and …. sigh … Auburn fans will definitely not be happy about this.
Citrus Bowl
The pick: Auburn vs. Wisconsin
Boy, that was fun for a week. What happened to Mississippi State? From ending the nation’s longest winning streak to falling victim to Arkansas, a team that hadn’t beaten a league opponent in three years. Ouch. The Bulldogs move back this week in the SEC’s bowl pecking order and Auburn fills this slot. We’re projecting Wisconsin to win its side of the Big Ten, but not without a loss. The two-loss Badgers get to play in Orlando for New Years.
Okay, it’s not like we don’t like Badgers fans and all but isn’t everyone on both sides of this getting tired of this bowl matchup? It seems that the two match up after every other season but in reality the Tigers and Badgers have only met up three times since 2003. Still, it would be nice to play someone else besides Wisconsin.
