2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

The Utah State Aggies play the Ohio University Bobcats today in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (formerly the Idaho Humanitarian Bowl).

This season the Utah State Aggies are 7-5 and the NCAA FBS production model's measure of their strength of schedule (SOS) was equal to 79.50. Utah State's best win was against currently ranked #34 Nevada, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #97 Colorado State. To date, the Aggies are the #42 ranked team overall, with the #27 ranked offense and the #60 ranked defense.

The Ohio Bobcats are 9-4 with a strength of schedule equal to 79.85. Ohio's best win was against currently ranked #13 Temple, and their worst loss was against currently ranked #104 Ball State. To date, the Ohio Bobcats are the #59 ranked team overall, with the #39 ranked offense and the #70 ranked defense.

The NCAA FBS production model ranks the Utah State Aggies better than the Ohio Bobcats, and hence expect Utah State to win the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl today.
