Bracketology Update: Where do ESPN's latest projections have Auburn?

Where does Auburn stand in Joe Lunardi's latest bracketology?
In this story:

The No. 12 Auburn Tigers saw no change in their projected seeding by ESPN's Joe Lunardi.

The Tigers went 2-0 over the last week, beating the Vanderbilt Commodores 81-54 at home on Wednesday and beating the Ole Miss Rebels 91-77 on the road on Saturday.

In Lunardi's previous projection, Auburn was listed as a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region playing in Spokane, Washington.

In the latest projection, Auburn remains a No. 4 seed but has moved to the South Region.

Auburn is taking on the No. 13 seed McNeese State Cowboys in the first round and taking on the winner of the No. 5 seed Creighton Blue Jays and the No. 12 seed Richmond Spiders.

If the Tigers made it out of the first weekend, they would play in the Sweet 16 and potentially Elite Eight games at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

The SEC had nine teams included in these projections. The highest seed held by an SEC team was a No. 2 seed held by the Tennessee Volunteers and the lowest was a No. 10 seed held by the Texas A&M Aggies.

Auburn returns to action tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET to take on the No. 16 Alabama Crimson Tide at home inside Neville Arena. The television broadcast can be found on ESPN2 and the Auburn Sports Network broadcast can be streamed anywhere on the Auburn Athletics app.
