Auburn Football: Bowl Projections After Loss to New Mexico State

With another loss on their schedule, here's where major outlets project the Tigers to land in the postseason.

The Auburn Tigers need to quickly get back on track following their loss to New Mexico State.

The 31-10 thrashing was one of the worst losses in recent Auburn history. There were no turnovers, no special teams magic, no wild, chaotic, once in a blue moon type of plays that aided the Aggies in their win.

It was simply a complete whipping by a Group of Five team.

Now heading into Iron Bowl week, Auburn and Hugh Freeze have to find a way to refocus quickly. Alabama may prove to be the biggest challenge to Auburn on their schedule this season.

With another loss on their schedule, here's where major outlets project the Tigers to land in the postseason.
