Auburn’s two-game losing streak hasn’t really cost the Tigers in any way when it comes to bowl projections.
247Sports released their latest projections after Week 13 of the college football season and still have Gus Malzahn’s team heading to Orlando to play in the Citrus Bowl. The only difference is that this week it is Northwestern that the Tigers are slotted to meet.
This could be a Top 15 team vs. unranked matchup in Orlando, a location Auburn is familiar with during bowl season. The Tigers have underperformed this fall relative to expectations while the Wildcats are an upset loss away from being unbeaten and likely ranked inside the Top 10.
Auburn and Northwestern have met once before, that coming in the 2010 Outback Bowl. The Tigers pulled out a 38-35 victory in what was a wild game.
