Following an 8-4 regular season, No. 19 Auburn will face off against No. 18 Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla.
The game will be played on New Year's Day at 11:00 a.m. and will air on ESPN2.
"We're very excited about the opportunity to play at the Outback Bowl in Tampa against a very good Wisconsin team," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said. "Our players and coaches are looking forward to this opportunity. It should be a great week for our team and our fans."
This will be the fourth time Auburn has played Wisconsin. In 2003, the teams faced each other in the Music City Bowl, with Auburn winning 28-14. 3 years later they met again in the Capital One Bowl and Wisconsin took the game 24-10.
"We are thrilled to accept an invitation to play in the Outback Bowl against an outstanding Wisconsin team," Auburn Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs said. "This will be a great match-up for our team and a terrific bowl trip for the Auburn family. I look forward to joining all of our fans in Tampa for a great week.
