It is far too early to realistically slot teams into bowl games, but Athlon Sports took a stab at projecting all 43 bowl games in the upcoming 2021 college football season. In what shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, Auburn football wasn’t projected to make the College Football Playoff or even a New Year’s 6 bowl game.
Instead, the Tigers are expected to land in a bowl at the level of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. NC State would be their opponent if Athlon’s Steven Lassan has soothsaying abilities.
