Win4AU 4,183 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Not that bowls really matter anymore but just for fun. https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/college-football-bowl-predictions-brett-mcmurphy-week-6-projections-2021?utm_source=article&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=brettmcmurphy Not really fired up about Clemson but that would be a big win for Harsin in year 1. Not to get ahead of the rest of the season but after last week Auburn could possibly be a 2 loss team heading into the Iron Bowl. Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, and TaMu will all be toss up games IMO. You know what they say about a 9 win Auburn team at home in the Iron Bowl against Saban. Sugar or Peach may not be out of question not to mention the SEC Championship game if they got past Bama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,732 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Auburn favored against Clemson? Lol Harsin doesn’t strike me as guy who will not want his team showing up for a bowl game. I guess we’ll find out. Now that NIL is a thing, bowls should offer winner cash incentives to make these games more exciting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play routine ball and good things will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,833 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I still think 6-6 is the most likely scenario BUT 7-5 is fully within reach. Any of the "pool of six" bowls sans maybe Charlotte (mainly because of the horrible sponsor name) sounds great.

The team is 4-1 with home games against Ole Miss (after our bye week), MSU, South Carolina...and on the road at a freefalling aTm. Arkie is a pure toss-up (and fortunately 11AM kick). UGA and Bama are the only "likely" losses on our schedule. I think 8-4 is "most likely" with 9-3 "fully within reach" which is where a lot of folks had us to begin the year anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible we do better--we did beat the LSU on the road, who beat MSU on the road, who beat A&M on the road. I'm just fully guarding my expectations is all. 7 minutes ago, AUreo said: Can we play Clemson in the "Tony the Tiger" bowl? SEC is not affiliated with the Sun Bowl, sadly.

shabby 2,040 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The reality is this team will likely finish anywhere between 7 and 5 and 5 and 6. I hope we make a bowl. I hope we het the extra practices. And I hope the players get the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't play the Potato Bowl anyways (but we do need to get in the normal way and not the APR backdoor way).

My first impulse is to say no Birmingham, but part of me would rather go there than Tampa only because we’d get matched up with a team ~2 games better than us in the latter case. I would happily take BR’s projection. Edited October 13, 2021 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchids 239 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Here's 24/7's take: https://247sports.com/college/auburn/LongFormArticle/auburn-bowl-predictions-projections-172983849/#172983849_3 Most have us going against NC State or VT. I like the idea of playing Iowa State in the Texas bowl. ISU's name sorta means something right now, and it's real winnable game. TCU is intriguing as their defense should test our offense.
