The 2011 Armed Forces Bowl pits the BYU Cougars - now an independent - against the Tulsa University Golden Hurricane from Conference USA.

This season the BYU Cougars are 9-3 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 72.00. BYU's best win was against currently ranked #38 UCF, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #40 Texas. To date, the Cougars are the #41 ranked team overall, with the #74 ranked offense and the #13 ranked defense.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes are 8-4 with a strength of schedule equal to 58.25. Tulsa's best win was also against currently ranked #38 UCF, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #16 Oklahoma. To date, the Golden Hurricane's are the #37 ranked team overall, with the #31 ranked offense and the #52 ranked defense.

The NCAA FBS production model ranks Tulsa better than BYU, and hence expect Tulsa to win the Armed Forces Bowl today.
