Auburn football bowl game: Projections, live updates from selection day 2023

AUBURN — Auburn football's regular season didn't end like fans hoped it would — the Tigers were stunned by New Mexico State in Week 12 and got their hearts broken by Alabama in Week 13 — but coach Hugh Freeze's team did just enough to become bowl eligible at an even 6-6.

The Tigers will soon learn their bowl fate, as the various bowls around the country will announce participants Sunday. The TexAct Texas Bowl in Houston on Dec. 27 and the Music City Bowl in Nashville on Dec. 30 appear to be the most likely options, but anything can happen.

Below are the latest projections and reports from industry experts. This story will be updated until official word comes through regarding Auburn's bowl destination.
