This weekend the University of Michigan hosts the University of Nebraska and may be most intriguing game this weekend. UPDATE: Just saw that Iowa State defeated Oklahoma State in double overtime.
So let's take a look at how the production model assess each team's overall production, offensive production and defensive production. First for the blue and maize: the University of Michigan is 8-2 and is currently the number 16th team in overall productivity. On the offensive side of the ball Michigan has the 15th most productive offense and the 34th most productive defense. Michigan has played against a strength of schedule equal to 59.0, which is just slightly more difficult than an average FBS schedule (theoretically).
On the other side of the ball, we have the red and white (and don't forget those blackshirts) from the University of Nebraska. In terms of overall production, Nebraska has slipped over the last few weeks. Nebraksa is 8-2 and is now sitting as the #43rd most productive team overall, with the #42 offense and #46 defense. They have played (as of last weekend) a strength of schedule equal to 62.7, which is about average.
With these numbers, the production model states that Michigan is a more productive team than is Nebraska.
