It's no secret that Auburn’s football team will enter the 2015 season with high expectations.

The Tigers are projected to advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship game according to the Associated Press’ bowl projections for the 2015-16 season.

The projections have Auburn playing its semifinal game at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, against Notre Dame.

The Sporting News also has Auburn in the Cotton Bowl, but playing against TCU.

ESPN projected Auburn to play Ohio State in the Capital One Orange Bowl, which is the other semifinal game, in its predictions in May.

The Tigers will begin their season on Saturday, September 5, at 2:30 p.m. against Louisville. The game will be played at the Georgia Dome and will be broadcasted on CBS.
