Northwestern went 6-2 on the season and won the Big Ten West Division for the second time in three years. Auburn finished its regular season with a 6-4 overall record in the Southeastern Conference. The Wildcats and Tigers have met only once before with Auburn pulling out a 38-35 victory in the thrilling 2010 Outback Bowl.
This is Northwestern's second appearance in the Citrus Bowl. The Wildcats met Tennessee in the 1997 edition of the bowl game. It was Dan and Susan Jones Family Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald's final game in a Northwestern uniform.
