The Northwestern Wildcats...

...will take on the Auburn Tigers in the Outback Bowl on January 1. It will be the first ever meeting of the two feline squads and the eighth bowl appearance for Northwestern. The 'Cats last and only post-season victory was a 20-14 decision over California in the 1949 Rose Bowl.

A cursory glance at Auburn's schedule is not encouraging, however. In their last game, the Tigers lost to No. 1-ranked Alabama by a score of only 26-21. That was a better showing than Tim Tebow and Florida. Yikes! (Maybe the Crimson Tide was looking ahead to the conference showdown with the Gators. That'll be my spin.)
